U.S. lags behind world in wireless use

A CNN.com article this morning relates that "an estimated 57% of the U.S. population chats on wireless phones-- not much greater than the percentage in much poorer countries like Jamacia, where 54% of the people have mobile phones, according to the International Telecommunications Union. By comparison, in Hong Kong there are 105.75 mobile subscribers for every 100; in Taiwan, there are 110."

The article also noted that "wireless companies were the No.2 sector for complaints to Better Business Bureaus in 2003, trailing only car dealers, and second-lowest in customer satisfaction according to the University of Michigan's index, second only to cable companies."
