There is some confusion about analog and 911. All the carriers warned their
customers that 911 won't work once analog is turned off. It appears only
AT&T and Verizon have made the switchoff. Alltel has kept theirs on even
past their own deadline (3/31/08). Some, including Golden State have no
plans to turn analog off yet.
