One more time. Here we go again. Larry is making false claims on what
he wishes were the case.
Maybe Larry doesn't remember, but I specifically asked and received an
answer from an FCC Wireless Division official about his previous claim
of this "fact".
The FCC official's reply was that cellular band providers must continue
to provide analog service until the sunset date, but that they were NOT
mandated to activate analog service for anyone, including those who had
previously had analog only service, even if their account was in good
standing.
If necessary, I'll repost the actual reply.
Of course, he includes his other favorite analog fantasy, the
"ever-extending cut off dates". The original date, set in late 2002 was
February 18, 2008. That has now been moved forward all the way to--are
you ready for this--February 18, 2008. Amazing!
As I've said before, I'm hardly anti-analog. But reality is reality.
