There are always the baby nursery monitors
operating at the old Channel one -- 48-54-MHz. Ah,
the neighborhood secrets being broadcast in the

The first places a new technology appears in always have the oldest
formats. That's how it works.

Well, considering that conventional AMPS service was still mandated by
the FCC until Feb., I don't see how they got away with that!

Here in the third world, both systems continued to provide analog
service on a couple of channels, with Ciingular/AT&T going to one
channel per sector per site last year. If that channel was busy and
you couldn't reach the next cellsite, you were sol.
Last year, Cingular/AT&T/whatever even cut back on the number of
control channels, taking away the first six and turning them over to
TDMA.
Course, I guess AT&T is pulling the plug on that, too.

Ah, well.


George
