Article from December 2014: http://money.cnn.com/2014/12/04/tech...illing-off-3g/

Two quotes on point:

"Gartner's Ken Dulaney predict[s] that 3G will be gone by 2018."

and

"To speed up the transition, telecommunications industry analysts predict that carriers will offer free 4G phone upgrades to pry the last remaining holdouts away from their aging devices" - which is exactly what Verizon did to get me out of my V60, they gave me a Razr (which I didn't want at first, mind you).

So, why has BMW Assist been terminated in 2016 - when 3G may be supported for another two years - and why no news on a low / no-cost retrofit?
