The latest report from CDC on cell phone use came out last week and it's more of the same. The latest data show that as of December, 2009, 24.5 percent of US households now have only a cell phone. No landline. Households with a landline but report taking most of their calls by cell is now at 14.9 percent.
I treat this as no big deal because we are now well beyond the point where we can pretend to do representative research by telephone without calling cell phones. A likely more interesting report hopefully to be released in June will come from a new AAPOR Task Force that has been reviewing the most research research and current practices for dealing with cell phones in surveys. This report will come as a follow-up to AAPOR's 2008 report on this same topic.
