GALLUP: The Future of Phones
Posted on November 2nd, 2007 by MichaelWhen Alexander Graham Bell patented his telephone more than 100 years ago, it’s fair to assume that he didn’t envision a wireless world. Nor could he have imagined the impact of the greatest innovation of the late 20 th century — the Internet — on how people would come to consider and use his invention. Regardless, a wave of broadband or IP-based telephony is evident, and mobile phone devices are now nearly as ubiquitous as home phones. New research by The Gallup Panel illustrates how consumers are embracing the future of phones.
