Re: So Much For Recession!
Same reason someone would use something like "remote desktop" or "gotomypc" - your home computer is AT HOME tied to the landline . . . you are elsewhere with your laptop and need access to the files/programs on that home pc.
Mobile broadband can also serve as a "back-up" line for those who work from home (telecommute or home based business) if, say, the cable goes out (as has been known to happen).
And, I'd note, it hardly "crushes" the idea of a recession. LeBron James is probably still spending his Benjamins. Put differently, just because rich people are better suited to ride out a recession (by still spending money) doesn't mean that there isn't a recession . . . anymore that it did when the rich did the same during the Depression.
A more revealing question would be: how many mobile broadband users ALSO have a landline connections . . . and, then, what income bracket are most of those people (those with both mobile broadband and landlines) in? |
