I just saw a special on this topic on the Science Channel. I believe what they were saying is that the planned lifecycle of the Hubble was only until 2010. Basically they are scrapping like 2 or 3 service missions. Without the service missions it should come down sometime around 2007. It is however big enough that they need at least one more service mission to set it up so it doesn't land in a populated area. Interestingly enough, the technology for that be be done doesn't exist yet. I found that to be funny.
