According to MetaFacts, the number of PC-using homes without a
standard landline increased 60% since 2002 (3.2 mln in 2003 versus 2.0
mln in 2002). In terms of all PC-using homes, the numbers are just as
dramatic. The percentage of users without any telephone line grew from
2.4% in 2002 to 3.5% in 2003, a 46% year over year increase. Within
homes with one person, growth was even faster, rising from 2.3% in
2002 to 5% in 2003.
