I am curious to see what the equivalent figure is in US and Asia. My guess is... Mobile-only Households?…

Seems quaint, but it's true. I wonder what the percentage is of those who have to have a land line for these reasons, but do not use land lines for voice...

Whilst this is undoubtedly valid in regards to fixed voice (just take a look at minute leakage from fixed networks of all incumbents across WE), I don't think we can call fixed data a dying industry. I haven't actually seen Voda make any reference to plans to offer fixed voice, but rather they want to offer fixed data alone. My guess then would be that there is some very heavy lobbying going on behind the scenes to push through naked DSL in more of Voda's core European markets. It's only really in Norway that we have seen regulatory intervention to push naked DSL. The impact has been very healthy broadband penetration (50% of households) with amongst the most advanced market for FMS in Western European. In H2 2005, about 49% of total voice minutes were mobile-originated, putting Norway up there with Finland and Portugal at the head of the FMS field. It is these two growth waves that Vodafone is hoping to ride.
