The term is ill defined, but the general connotation is that they will
be supplanting dumb phones. So say what you will,phones with IP
addresses is likely to increase as a percentage of the installed base.
The only thing offsetting that is the indication that the U.S. is
saturating on total # of cell phones, which is what that article says.
Moving on...
