Analog better not be going bye-bye! It's not the best quality I'll admit, but here in the Hudson Valley if we didn't have analog too the service would be totally unacceptable. Not that I don't appreciate digital - I much prefer it. But VZW's coverage in this area is sort of like swiss cheese. That's in NY state, for those of you who aren't familiar. Until they massively improve the digital coverage, they can't take away the analog, unless of course they give everyone using the service in this area a 50% rate reduction for the problems we routinely have to put up with. Personally I'd rather have improved coverage.
