According to this New York Times article the percentage of Americans in cellphone-only households has overtaken the percentage in landline-only households. The article cites Mediamark Research, a firm that has been tracking this cellphone data since the 1980s.
According to Mediamark, 84.5 percent of households now have landlines, and 86.2 percent have at least one cellphone. In-home surveys at about 13,000 homes were conducted to collect this data.
The world is going mobile - now that cellphones have almost phased out landlines, it is only logical that a wireless broadband will phase out fixed data connections. It is only a matter of which wireless broadband technology will reign king, be it WiMax or HSDPA technology.
