I'm pretty sure analog was still running as of a couple years ago. I know that it is off now. OnStar used it and when the FCC allowed carriers to shut down their analog networks, some vehicle owners already had compatible radios, some needed an upgrade, some where left behind.
It looks like February 2008 is when the analog networks were allowed to shut down. I guess that's better than me thinking Canopy was 20 ms when that hasn't been the case since pre-Advantage. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Luthman" <j...@imaginenetworksllc.com> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2012 11:43:40 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] NYTimes on carrier-induced mobile spectrum crisis Analog stuff was shut off a while ago.
