Time to Ditch Your Land Line?

Comcast came after me the other day—offering a phone service/broadband package along with the digital cable services that I’m already receiving.  I’ll admit, it was tempting, especially since I pretty much use my cell phone for nearly 99% of my calls.

According to a just released study by Forrester Research, last year about 8% of U.S. households that subscribe to cellphone service had given up their land-line phones, up from 5% in 2004 and 4% in 2003.  Certainly that’s a trend that will continue.  

Alyce Lomax over at Motley Fool has an interesting article to help you decide if cutting the cord is right for you.

The Wall Street Journal ran a story on this in The Marketplace section of Friday’s (March 31) paper.

This could be the year of mobile computing AND 100% wireless communications.
