“According to data published by Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) as reported by Japan Today, mobile calls accounted for 44.8% of total hours of telecommunications traffic in the fiscal year ending 31 March 2007, eclipsing fixed line phone traffic for the first time ever.”

Amazing when you think about it this way: Bell’s first phone call over a wire took place back in 1876, and for over 132 years we’ve spent time gabbing on the POTS, or Plain Old Telephone Service. In just 25 years, we actually have more wireless calls than wired in some areas of the world.”
