Wire

In total, more than 1 in 6 American households are living without wireline service, an eightfold increase over six years...

...The old school telephone is still a big deal for telecommunications companies.
For instance, AT&T reported yesterday that total first quarter wireline revenues were $15.0 billion, down 3.2 percent from a year earlier.  Wireless revenues, which include equipment sales, were up 10.2 percent year over year to $15.3 billion.

The ramifications of the wireless phenomena are huge for government officials.  As the numbers of cell phone numbers grow, tracking people down becomes more difficult for law enforcement and other government officials.
