That said, the difference in reliability between wireline and wireless networks may help stem the flow of users to mobile networks for voice and other services, Bricken says. But that probably won't be enough to slow the momentum of voice minutes moving to wireless networks. There were 50 million U.S. lines a few years ago, vs. 192 million a couple months ago, according to Bolliger, so lines in the United States continue to grow. But Europe has had negative growth on lines connected and is now seeing minute reductions because people are using cell phones. That's not the case in the U.S. yet, but look at the increased minutes on U.S. cellular networks with call packs.
People can only talk so much, and it's bound to happen.
