What?
In the US at least, AT&T shut down 2G in 2017, Verizon in 2019, and T-Mobile started shutdown of 2G in 2022 but has it still hanging on but on it's final way out by the end of this year likely.
Even for Europe, a lot of 2G shutdowns started in 2022, and most places in Europe will have 2G phased out by the end of this year.
I am talking about Slovakia. That's just what I remember seeing. Currently only Orange plans 2G shutdown, and that is for 2028.
From the public documents I could find, it seems 2G is going to be mandatory until 31.12.2028, however only Orange has said something about its shutdown publicly so far.
