It's not.  If you took the trouble to read the law before posting
nonsense under yet another pseudonym, perhaps you'd learn something.
Then again, perhaps you're not interested in the truth.

I didn't say that.  I said that the situation isn't as urgent as most
alarm dealers would have the public believe.  Most will still have
time to select an alternative.

The sunset clause states that, as of February 18, 2008, cellular
telephone companies will not be required to provide analog service.
It does not say that analog services will be shut down on that date.
In fact, there is no mandatory shut-down date.

Here's a quote from an alarm industry trade magazine that tells
what's really behind all the hoopla:

"As the AMPS Sunset clause date of Feb. 18, 2008, grows closer, many
security dealers fear that their customers will use this as an
opportunity to cancel their monthly monitoring service. But smart
home integrators will take advantage of this Y2K-type event for what
it really is: The greatest single up-sell opportunity in your company's
history..."

"... After all, you are an invited and trusted advisor within your
customer's home. That is a powerful and profitable position to be in,
if it is leveraged properly." -- SDM Magazine

It is true that analog cellular service is going to come to an end,
but the date is not fixed and the consumer is not "under the gun" the
way some dishonest alarm dealers would like him to believe.
