Oh, and powerlines. Those scientists need to get on with that wireless energy transmission.

A family lives at home and have a home line. The adults both have their own cell phones, as well. That's two to one. If they have kids, then that's possibly even more. I know its a limited view and obviously isn't the real reason behind the numbers, but it certainly is a factor.]]>Sep 5th 2007 9:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/planet-earth-now-home-to-four-billion-phone-lines/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/planet-earth-now-home-to-four-billion-phone-lines/Sep 5th 2007 11:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/planet-earth-now-home-to-four-billion-phone-lines/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/planet-earth-now-home-to-four-billion-phone-lines/Sep 6th 2007 8:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/planet-earth-now-home-to-four-billion-phone-lines/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/planet-earth-now-home-to-four-billion-phone-lines/Sep 5th 2007 10:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/planet-earth-now-home-to-four-billion-phone-lines/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/planet-earth-now-home-to-four-billion-phone-lines/Sep 5th 2007 10:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/planet-earth-now-home-to-four-billion-phone-lines/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/planet-earth-now-home-to-four-billion-phone-lines/
Otherwise, some idiot would have already said "Well, I for one welcome our new telephone overlords."]]>Sep 5th 2007 10:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/planet-earth-now-home-to-four-billion-phone-lines/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/planet-earth-now-home-to-four-billion-phone-lines/you can triple or even quaduple your annual earnings. you've already sold each home a phone line now you'll add 2-4 more lines per household & charge more for each because they are mobile. ignore the quality for now, they won't care. nevermind the pin drop sales pitch, they won't care.
there they sat already having exhausted all the features they could think of adding to the land line & they were looking forward to 4 times the profit.
had to have been a good day for someone!]]>Sep 6th 2007 5:00PM
