The amazing part is that cellphones outnumber landlines more than 2 to 1.
It's simple really.
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.
Not amazing at all Mr. John Stracke. It's quite cheaper to put up an antenna than a wire to each house. Many underdeveloped countries have bypassed the wiring by now.
"Many underdeveloped countries have bypassed the wiring by now." Yes, I know, but I didn't realize it was happening so quickly. I've certainly heard enough about poor countries that have leapfrogged the landline age; but most articles I've read are about places where there are one or two cellphones per village.
