As promised in 2012, AT&T has completely shut down its old 2G network mobile network, which had almost no customers using it, effective Jan. 1, 2017. The move allows AT&T to redeploy spectrum assets and capital to the more-modern networks (3G, 4G, 5G).
“The retirement of our 2G network--like our earlier retirement of the analog wireless network--is part of our 5G Evolution, which includes continued deployment of our 4G LTE and other technologies in the years to come,” AT&T said.

Other specialty legacy networks eventually will follow. CenturyLink, for example, shutting down frame relay and ATM networks for similar reasons: customers do not buy them.
