Re: Binge drinkers are young & stupid ....

Also, from work, I've observed that many low-income folks are only using cell phones, and smoking is more prevalent among low-income individuals.

Also, many college students don't get landlines because they're on their parents' family plans, and they don't want to get ripped off by university telecom departments, and college students tend to binge drink. The real danger for the phone companies is that, once these people leave college, they likely won't get landlines, meaning the base of landline users is aging and will eventually die off. If the phone companies want to retain their landline business, they need a big change in strategy. Bundling all the features provided by VoIP carriers at a similar price point would be my first thought.

Man that reminds me of the bad old days of living on campus and paying outrageous amounts of money for using the dorm room landline.
