MEDIA RELEASE
Queenslanders' love of mobile phones Almost seven-in-ten Queenslanders aged 18 years and over in October 2003 had use of a mobile phone, according to figures released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. In October 2003, an estimated 77,000 Queenslanders (4%) with the use of a mobile lived in households with no phones connected. Of these, 56% were aged 18 to 29 years. However, the majority of Queensland adults (96%) with the use of a mobile phone, lived in households with at least one phone connection. Of all Queensland households surveyed, approximately 95% had a phone connected in October 2003. Most connected Queensland households (99%) had at least one phone connection able to receive standard telephone calls, even if it was used mostly for facsimile or the Internet. Approximately 82% of these households had at least one phone connection listed in the residential section of Telstra's White Pages. Further information is in Household Telephone Connections, Queensland (cat. no. 8159.3). Document Selection These documents will be presented in a new window.
