Here is an article on the above subject that may be interesting:

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/techn...-landline-phones/ar-BBAJuwV?OCID=ansmsnnews11

As a die-hard believer in landline services, I found this paragraph really fascinating:

Cellphone-only home have other commonalities. "Wireless-only adults are more likely to drink heavily, more likely to smoke and be uninsured," even after factoring for age and income, says Stephen J. Blumberg, the study's co-author (and a landline user himself). "There certainly is something about giving up a landline that appeals to the same people who may engage in risky behavior."
:twisted:

PS a word of warning to those without an ad blocker running. The site in the link will report 100 or more ads blocked with ABP plus! Now that is a new record for intrusive advertising! Never visited a site like this before!

Yes, took deep and serious thought.

But seriously, to come to a multicollinear conclusion based on spurious data is BS.

But the mark of a researcher with a pre-determined agenda! :erm:

Well if you think about it, it's a lot harder to have a landline if you're not stable or are renting. And stable implies things like insurance.

So not hard to see where they're coming from.
