I agree totally. And let me add that phone service here has not only been universally available, it is quickly installed (except for DSL with a 30 day wait in my area). Most of the rest of the world waited a long time to get a phone installed. Furthermore, they have always been charged for the duration of local calls, which have been part of the basic monthly fee for most users. In other words, the main driving force for wireless in the good ol' USA has been convenience, not availability or cost. I have a cell phone, and so does my wife. Most days neither of us uses them. They just sit in the cars because we are seldom more than a few feet from a wired phone, either at home or at the office. On the other hand, my real estate friends and service technicians seem to use them constantly because they are always outside. Sorry I got so verbose, but I think the reason for wireless adoption in the rest of the world is mostly an issue of availability and cost, not just convenience. JRH
