It will start to be phased out in 2013 and be completely phased out by 2015.

They might shut it down sooner than 2015 if they have offloaded all the customers to the new Qchat (the new method for providing direct connect) before then.

It appears they plan to use the spectrum for LTE once it is clear of iden service.
