Charlotte, N.C., Area Boasts Large Number of Mobile Phone Customers.
Byline: Stan Choe
Oct. 1--We have long drives to work. We are often in hotels or meeting rooms, away on business. Many of us are transplants who visit home regularly.
With time to kill and a penchant for traveling, we are a mobile-phone provider's dream, companies say.
The Charlotte area's mouth-watering demographics have drawn competitors from Concord to California, all seeking to serve the still-growing mobile-phone market.
And we have responded: Even though Charlotte is only a midsize city in terms of population, it ranks among the top four cities nationally for per capita mobile-phone ownership.
Charlotte's per capita rate is behind only Detroit, Chicago and Atlanta, according to a 1999 study by Scarborough Research and USADATA.com.
About 66 percent of Charlotte households own wireless phones, trumping the national average of 52 percent, says Boston research firm the Yankee Group. About 61 percent of all N.C. households have a wireless device, and 59 percent in South Carolina do.
