Ameican phone company AT&T have announced that they intend to close their 2G network on 1st January 2017. Apparently on 12% of their subscribers use 2G only.
I wonder if any of the UK networks are planning to do this. O2 and Vodafone are already using their old 2G 900Mhz for 3G. Im sure we have more 2G only subscribers than AT&T. But it must be on the cards at some point.
