Here at least it’s more connected devices, like the emergency call option in elevators or cars. I was considering getting a used car made in 2023 with 2G/3G and just happened to learn about the shutdown in time before I sealed the deal.

But the timeline planned here in Sweden is a bit insane: only by 2026 must new car models use 4G/5G. 2027 is when they expect to fully shut down 2G. This makes no sense for devices that have a long life span.
