Brussels -- According to the "Telecoms Services Indicators 2004" report conducted on behalf of the European Commission (EC), approximately 81% of European households said they own at least one mobile phone. The Commission said the news puts the number of mobile phones per household on a par with the number of European homes having at least one fixed-line phone. The report also found that fixed telephony penetration in the EU, which currently stands at about 82%, has actually dropped by 3% since last year. The Commission said the overall proportion of households with access to a telephone at home in 2004 was 97%, while 66% of households own both fixed and mobile phones. Only 3% of EU households have no telephone at all.
