The latest US Consumer Expenditure Survey reveals that the number of American households paying a mobile bill rather than a landline bill has risen from 0.4% in 2000 to 7.8% by early last year.
Official figures show that around 9% of Americans rely solely on a mobile phone and the figure is rising all the time. As young people who have grown up with mobile phones for the last 5 – 10 years become homeowners there is a real possibility that they will choose a mobile phone over the traditional landline.
Once broadband becomes easily available without a landline the conventional phone could be a thing of the past.
