3 in 10 Homes in US no longer have a landline

According to this article, 3 out of 10 homes have given up on the landline and only use mobile phones. Finally, people are starting to completely make the switch. Well, I guess I was a an early adopter of this trend. I haven't had a landline since 1999. Here are some other interesting trends out of this survey:
The survey also found that:

• Low-income people are likelier than the more affluent to have only cell phones.
• Those with only cells tend to be living with unrelated roommates, renters rather than homeowners, and Hispanics and blacks rather than whites.
• About a third of those under age 30 only have cell phones.
• Households with both cell and landline phones who rarely or never get calls on their landlines tend to be better educated and have higher incomes.
• About 2 percent of households reported having no telephones.

Affluent homeowners use their landlines for alarm monitoring. That why they rarely get calls on them yet continue to pay for them.
