In the United States, there are now more cell phone (or is it mobile phone?) only homes than there are landline only homes. That isn’t a very bold statement when one considers that there are more cell phones than there are people in the United States and that landlines have become less popular rather dramatically over the last several years. Landline only homes account for only 17% of the total homes in the country, where as mobile only homes are three percent higher. Students and bachelors leaving home for the first time have not been ready to embrace the landline in the same way their parents did. Considering that this social demographic tends to earn lower wages than those in their 30s and 40s, would indicate that this is a budget decision as well. Why pay for two phones when you only really need one? The landline better come up with something radical in the near future, or it may very well find itself extinct sooner rather than later.
