02.07.2008Cell Phone Spending Surpasses Land Lines
With Americans cutting the cord to their land lines, 2007 is likely to be the first calendar year in which U.S. households spend more on cell phone
services, industry and government officials say. The most recent government data show that households spent $524, on average, on cell phone bills
in 2006, compared with $542 for residential and pay-phone services.
By now, though, consumers almost certainly spend more on their
cell phone bills, several telecom industry analysts and officials said. "What we're finding is there's a huge move of people giving up their
land line service altogether and using cell phones exclusively," said Allyn Hall, consumer research director for market research firm In-Stat. As
recently as 2001, U.S. households spent three times as much on residential phone services as they did on cell phones.

Chris Danielsen fidgets with the cell phone, holding it over a $20 bill.
"Detecting orientation, processing U.S. currency

Danielsen, a spokesman for the National Federation of the Blind, is holding the next generation of computerized aids for the blind and visually
impaired.
The Nokia cell phone is loaded with software that turns text on photographed documents into speech. In addition to
telling whether a bill is worth $1, $5, $10 or $20, it also allows users to read anything that is photographed, whether it's a restaurant menu, a
phone book or a fax.
