It isn't actually closing down at all! What is happening is they are changing the data protocol, and all the old existing hardware of the old faithful CDMA network is going to remain. The only thing that is going to change is it will be called WCDMA, and your old CDMA phone will not be operational on that different data protocol. So you are right. All they have done is change the frequency to go and make people buy new phones.

What they have done would be like television stations changing frequencies so your old plasma can't recieve any pictures anymore, just so they could force you into a contract for a new Plasma.

They are scum sucking moluscs.

Thats the trouble going digital, it's open to control from afar!
Thats part of the way things are going! Next thing you know the vehicle manufacturers will want satellite abilities to disable a vehicle that you would be paying off....miss a payment and BING! Car won't start....pay up or else!

Something needs to be done, governments turning into highway robberies!
