Cell Phone v/s Landline Phone

Hello friends after gap of almost fortnight I am back as I was unable to write blog because of some unavoidable domestic reasons despite my desire to write as there is saying sometimes one has to oversight his willingness and favour liabilities/responsibility.
Before the 1990 India had very low telephone density and having Telephone connection in the office or house was treated as status symbol and to call in India or abroad it was very costly the rate for America/Europe was roughly at one time was 65 rupees per minutes and subscriber first had to book call then after some time through telephone operator he was able to call any number. Subscriber avoid to have STD on to there number, people use to give number of there neighbour to there relatives and asked them to call at particular time and sometime subscriber of Telephone find it very irritating when he received call and then have to call neighbour especially in the night time but thanks to development and entry by lot of players in this field which make not only call cheaper but also relief to the owner of subscriber, it also change Telephone from status symbol to necessity.
Then in the year 1985 in Delhi non commercially mobile service begin and slowly slowly throughout India after 1998 mobile service available to every citizen of this country but it was so much expensive that it cost approximately 42 rupees per minutes and not only subscriber had to spent money to outgoing call but also had to shun money on incoming calls and to save money on incoming calls user often reject the calls and make call to the number from landline phone on to number from where he received call on to his cell. This is the fact when every sector (almost state) had one player but slowly with passing time every sector adding new player courtesy government relaxing norms and now every sector has more then five to six players and calls are damn cheap, incoming is free, SMS are bundle with package, International calls are very cheap, subscriber has option to pick from prepaid and post paid, and they are available in GSM, GPRS and WLL category. Customers always prefer GSM and opt for prepaid because it keep on mentioning after every call the balance subscriber has which is very handy for a user when he is using telephone, while talking sometime user unnecessary keep on talking and if he has postpaid category then he find sometimes very annoyed when in the end of month he receive bill . Biggest plus point of mobile is that user access is not bound to call only but despite being small device it has lot of advantages like calendar, calculator, net access, music, video, camera, office application and much much more.
Popularity and increase in the number of mobile phone user badly effect the customer base of landline and people stop applying for new landline numbers, even who have landline phone in there house applying to disconnect it and offices which have more then one landline phone reduce to just one phone. It make the department to feel worried seeing the number reducing sharply but then Net comes as boon for landline phone as to have net in the premise whether it is home or office landline is must, if somebody have no landline phone and he is applying for net then its mandatory to apply for new phone also, so now there is some pause in the customer to apply for disconnection as net day by day becoming necessity not only in office but also in house because of its wide advantages like instant mail, cheap talk throughout world ,instant upload of digital photos, videos etc. etc.
Soon this year Government is going to allot the 3G Spectrum to mobile service provider then it will give more jump/boost to the usage of mobile phone because then it will give help user to see video at fast speed, right now although cell user has facility to use net through GPRS but it is so slow that sometime it give frustration to the user when site not open fast.
