Plan Ahead for Phase Out of 3G Cellular Networks and Service
I worked very very briefly in the wireless service industry on UAPs and large scale cell antenna receivers. To me, this doesn&#x27;t seem as much a conspiracy to obsolete old phones as a practical stance to not need to have two copies of antennas on every tower. The old antennas used in 3G don&#x27;t go up to the frequencies needed by true 5G, so they need new ones. If they&#x27;re developing new ones, they don&#x27;t want to have to keep supporting old standards as well, so they don&#x27;t code for it (and possibly don&#x27;t even support it in the hardware). So now there are no more 3G receivers on any towers and therefore your 3G phone stops working. As a side effect, anyone still using a 3G device needs to buy a new one, but I don&#x27;t think that is the main driver for the move.
