Consumers don't like to be hardwired to their tech, and so the smart money is on mobile services. That's coming from Pyramid Research, who says that by 2010, the U.S. will pony up more buckazoids for mobile than on all fixed-line communications, Yahoo News reports.
If we omit leased lines and other high-end business services, U.S. citizens will spend $410.2 billion on communications services in 2015, up from $362 billion in 2010.
As it stands right now, a little more than half (54 percent) of that money goes towards wireline services, like DSL, cable Internet and TV, satellite, and the like, while 46 is spent on mobile. In 2015, the two will have swapped spaces, with mobile spending accounting for 51 percent, and 49 percent on wired connections.
