Many of the third world countries are way ahead of us in the use of
cell phones. Think about it for a bit. Only the US, Canada, and  portions
of western Europe had hard wired phone systems in place when cell phones
hit the world.

The third world countries found it far less expensive to have cell
phones rather than hard wired telephone lines - take China for example -
It would be almost impossible to string telephone wires over all their
country and at what cost!

Cellular systems are much less expensive under those conditions.
