What caught my eye was how high Landline phones are. Cellphones don't have perfect reception, but I barely use landlines anymore. It's also interesting how low cable and satellite TV are, don't think that would be as low if it weren't for Hulu and online streaming.

There are still businesses that require landlines, sommetimes loans. Even a job I applied to required a landline to reach me on (a summer job before I graduated from college). Granted it's getting rarer, but it still happens. Landlines are sort of a proof of address.
