Wireless usage in the United States will nearly double by 2006 from 2001 levels as more and more consumers use their cell phones to make calls that they previously made from traditional telephones, a study said on Monday.
According to a study by the Yankee Group, wireless subscribers are expected to increase their monthly minutes of use to 641 by 2006 from 356 in 2001 and 109 in 1994.
"Although only 3 percent of U.S. consumers use their mobiles as their only phone... 26 percent of mobile users' minutes are already being displaced from wireline to wireless and 45 percent of mobile users indicated at least some substitution," the research firm said in a study, citing a survey it conducted.
