Wireless living

I first noticed this Associated Press article, 1 in 4 households with cell phone, no landline, on KurzweilAI.net. Interesting enough, but I got to wondering why the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (aka CDC) did research on landline use. It would seem that the FCC or some other agency associated with telecommunications might be more likely to do such.
It turns out that the CDC did the research because their statisticians were becoming concerned that their polling data was becoming skewed by the absence of cellphone-only households in their respondent pool.  As they expanded their search, the study's author, Stephen Blumberg, Ph.D., noted that this undersurveyed group tends to be poorer and have notable differences in lifestyle, health, and access to health care from their wired cohorts.

This study does not include any information regarding health risks directly related to cellphone use. It seems that the lifestyles of the cellphone users will get them long before the cellphones will.
