| College student here
As a college student myself, I would say that this article is correct and accurate all the way through. I am junior now at the University of Iowa and I personally do not own/use a land line at all (except for DirecTV updates). That may sound confusing, but I live in a fraternity, and the house we live in has one land line for the cook to use and for us to *technically* recieve calls. The only calls we recieve on that line are solicitors. When i lived in the dorms, my roomate and I didn't even activate our land line in our dorm because we had no use for it, plus it would require us to purchase a land line phone. As for next year, we will be living in a different house, and since we are served by Qwest, we plan on getting a dry pair to our house for DSL, but we'll see. Generally speaking, I do not know one person who actually gets a landline to their apartment or house here on campus anymore, and if people do get a land line, it is usually because they don't have a cell phone. |
