Yes, there will be multiple cell phone owners. But remember that a fairly large percentage of the population at any given time is the youngest, those not at the have my own cell phone age. William

I haven't read the referenced articles, but I remember a presentation by a Nokia VP about a year ago in which he maintained just that: penetration will reach more than one per person.
