Traditional phone use dropping

The number of Americans with traditional landline telephones has declined sharply over the past three years, reports the Associated Press.

"About one in eight households did not have a landline telephone in the first half of 2006, according to data the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention collected in its National Health Interview Survey. Three years earlier, it was about one in 20.

... The implications ultimately could affect government, academic, business and media surveys on politics, the economy, employment, health behaviors and many other topics."
