Being in the rental business, I have seen my tenants go from almost 100% land lines in the mid 90's to less than 10% now. Why pay Verizon $50+ a month to a line that, if there is a problem, you have to take a day off of work to wait for a tech that may or may not show up (as opposed to bringing your cell to the store), get whacked for all the little ticky tacky charges, or get a cell for $30 a month that includes the bells & whistles and that goes everywhere you do?

I still keep my land line out of business necessity, but whereas for years I had two lines I'm down to one.
