Hmm, I wonder how many metropolitan areas even have analog cellular service anymore? I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is quite a small number by now. Just curious, jmacclau, but do you currently use an analog phone? If yes, are you in a rural area?

Even TDMA is an endangered species. Cingular is trying to dump its legacy TDMA network it acquired from AT&T as quickly as it can. It costs a lot of money to maintain two separate networks.
