2014 and newer model year vehicles with the NBT navigation system are based on 3G GSM technology. The NBT Evo platform in the 2016+ models are based on LTE systems so those technologies will be around for some time.
All the CCC and CIC navigation systems are based on CDMA or 2G GSM technologies (depending on generation) which are being shut down by their respective carriers.
BMW is working on a technical upgrade for those still under BMW-paid Assist contracts (contracts as part of new vehicle purchase or CPO purchases) and will release more information middle of the year. However, they haven't said anything about customers who are currently paying year-to-year for their service.
