Considering how large of remaining analog foot print Verizon has
in Texas ("As shown by carriers own coverage maps." - Navas), its hard
to imagine them turning up digital service in less than a year. Analog
will indeed fade away, but not next year or even the year after perhaps.

BTW, the analog foot print appears to have been static for the past
few years.
