Not necessarily. Verizon bought Cellular 2000 of St. Cloud MN, and
Cellular 2000 had TDMA customers. There was a time Verizon customers
roamed on Cellular 2000 in analog mode, but not today.

1Q08 is when Cingular is supposed to shut it down too, I believe.

The real question is when Verizon will not allow analog roaming
anymore.

GSM in rural Ohio is still spotty, let alone rural MN. And I go to
both places.
