The Australian Newspaper reported that Telstra has more mobile phone subscribers than fixed line customers.
The profit from fixed lines has been drastically decreasing and is currently at 50-60 per cent.
In fact, a survey conducted last year had revealed that 20 per cent of consumers could not say why they kept their land line.
"The main reason people keep it is for ADSL, not for the phone itself," News.com.au quoted Gary Tsang, industry analyst for telecom market research company Telsyte, as saying. (ANI)
