Landline Holders Increasingly Older, More Affluent

netbuzz writes "More than a quarter of the under-30 crowd has decided you only need one telephone — and it sure as heck does not plug into a wall. The trend towards an all-mobile lifestyle is accelerating, according to a new survey. Besides younger people, lower-income people are also more likely to have cut the cord. And while businesses may be a bit slower on the cell-only uptake, there appears to be little doubt at this point that the traditional landline will be joining rotary dials and party lines as a relic of the telecommunications industry."

Re: services are crap

Maybe you U.S.-North Americans should put down the fluoridated water & poisoned, nutrient-free food and do something about your situation.

I live in Europe, and from here, have seen the North American infrastructure get more like a third-world region than any other description. Your basic services are unregulated and privatised to the most connected bidder - the true tune the politicians play is how much they can get their greed fed through bribes. The propaganda has you talking in circles while the wealth of capital, human and otherwise, has been drained directly under your feet - excepting for a percent of the population, who have their landlines under their feet, immune to storms.
