Home Cell Phones Usage Surpass Traditional Home Landlines

For the first time, the number of U.S. households using only cell phones has surpassed those that just use traditional landlines. (See video to the right)

According to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey recently released, 20% of households only used cell phone during the last half of 2008, while, 17% of households only used land line. This is the largest six-month increase since the government started gathering such data in 2003. In 2003 4% of households only used cell phone, while, 42% of households only used land line. Sixty percent of U.S. households have both wireless and landline phones.
The growing number of cell-phone-only households is believed to be due to the recession which forced many families to lower their budgets. People who live in households only using wireless service tend to be disproportionately low-income, young, renters and Hispanics.
