WASHINGTON -- One in 4 households has a cell phone but no traditional landlines, a trend led by the young and the poor that is showing no sign of abating. The 25 percent who had only a mobile phone in the last half of 2009 was up 2 percentage points from the first half of the year. Spotlighting how steadily people's telephone habits are evolving, in the beginning of 2006 just 11 percent of homes had only a cell.
