State of Michigan Finds Common Ground With World Outside US
According to an article in the detroit news, as reported by NewsFactor Network, there are now more cell phones in Michigan then there are landlines. A related study by Jupiter Research found that this change is part of a larger trend where more and more people are using cell phones only to communicate.
What's really interesting about all of this is that in the rest of the world, cell phones are generally more common than landlines, because most countries did not invest the same amount of money into their telephone network infrastructure as companies did in the United States, making landline calls much more expensive. Those countries (well, the ones with money and a manufacturing base, anyway) tend to get the cooler cell phones first, because there's a bigger market for them. As the cell phone market in the US grows, that cooler phones gap might just disappear.
