Because of the word "only" in the above statement, it's not an interesting statement. What percentage of households have decided to rely entirely on other forms of communication than landline? Those who have both landline and cell phone presumably find their landline valuable. I for one don't want to depend on something that requires regular charging for emergency services. When a battery goes dead-dead, it takes a bit of time to replace it. And I may not remember to keep my phone charged.
