Perhaps unsurprising given the current financial climate, it seems more and more people are not paying their mobile phone bills than ever before.

I also read an article today suggesting that fewer people are now changing their phones frequently, and those that do are waiting longer in between changes.
Has the mobile phone boom reached its zenith I wonder?
I'm sure newer technology like the I-Phone will remain sought after, but it does seem to be that growth in this sector is slowing. I guess it has reached saturation point. This and the fact that most companies charges are still ludicrously high, is starting to hit home with consumers who are perhaps now seeing a new phone on an expensive tariff as less a necessity and more the luxury it should be seen to be.
