Or maybe the reason their wireless business is booming is because it probably costs less to run and the revenue numbers are so much higher.. Certain aspects of their wireless services are also probably carried out by their landline operation... eg: maintenance of cell towers etc. I'm just shocked at how much people spend on their cellphone and monthly plans compared to what it costs for just a regular phone. People probably average $100 a month for their cellphone and yet you can have your landline for under $30... I pay more a month for my cellphone, that I barely use and have limit services on, than I do for landline... so much more revenue for wireless..
