   The remnants of Sprints network have been put out to pasture. As of   
   yesterday, Sprints LTE network has been retired by its new owner,   
   T-Mobile. Thats along with Sprints 3G CDMA network, which was shut   
   down earlier this year, and what remained of T-Mobiles own 3G network,   
   which enters retirement today. T-Mobile spokesperson Justin Paulsen   
   confirmed to The Verge that the network shutdowns are now underway.   
      
   It may come as a surprise that any part of Sprints network was still   
   operational so recently. In April 2020, T-Mobile officially took   
   ownership of the company, including all of its spectrum and network   
   towers, which would ultimately be repurposed for 5G. Sprints 3G CDMA   
   network was the first to go when T-Mobile started to shut down Sprints   
   systems in March. It had originally planned to sunset the network at   
   the end of 2021, but after a heated debate over anti-competitive   
   behavior during which Dish chairman Charlie Ergen called T-Mobile a   
   Grinch, the date was pushed back.
