Very little. First of all, most of the AMPS that isn't coincident with
CDMA is in rural areas where Verizon is not the carrier, and where AMPS
will not be turned off. Second,
CDMA coverage, even without AMPS is
still much better than
GSM coverage.
I will miss coverage in some places that will lose coverage if AMPS is
turned off even in areas where there is no digital coverage. These
include areas of the San Mateo Coast and the Santa Cruz mountains. But
many of the areas with no
CDMA or
GSM coverage are covered by rural
carriers that have no incentive to turn off AMPS.
