Paris Hilton talks on her cell phone at the Shrine Auditorium
in Los Angeles November 22,
2005. |
Look who's
talking! People in Miami and Los Angeles chat on their cell phones more
than any other Americans, according to a survey of cell phone use in major
cities.
People in Miami make and receive an average of 298 calls a month -- an
average of 9-10 calls daily -- while Angelenos talk second most, averaging
260 calls per month, a survey of Verizon Wireless users found.
Rounding out the top 5 were Detroit, El Paso, Texas, and Las Vegas.
"Our study offers an snapshot of how Americans have come to rely on
their wireless service every day at home, and on the road," said Dick
Lynch, chief technology officer for Verizon Wireless.
The East Coast -- particularly New York and Washington -- came out
surprisingly low on the list -- possibly in part because hand-held cell
phones have been banned while driving there for some years.
New Yorkers were 11th and Washington failed to find a place in the top
30.
California is also about to pass a ban on hand-held cell phones while
driving that would likely cut cell-phone use by car-bound Angelenos
dramatically when it takes effect in 2008.

知道誰最愛用手機(jī)嗎？美國一個(gè)主要城市手機(jī)使用調(diào)查表明，邁阿密和洛杉機(jī)是美國使用手機(jī)交流最為頻繁的兩大城市。
美國最大的移動(dòng)通信公司Verizon
Wireless在其用戶中做了此項(xiàng)調(diào)查。調(diào)查顯示，邁阿密人平均每月接聽手機(jī)電話298個(gè)，即平均每天9至10個(gè)電話；洛杉機(jī)人平均每月接聽手機(jī)電話260個(gè)，排在第二。
另外幾個(gè)排在前五名的城市依次是底特律、德克薩斯州的埃爾帕素和拉斯維加斯。
Verizon
Wireless的技術(shù)主管迪克·林奇說：“我們的這項(xiàng)研究讓人們了解到如今美國人每天在家以及在旅途中對無線服務(wù)的依賴程度有多大。”
而美國東海岸一些城市的排名竟然出奇的靠后，尤其是紐約和華盛頓。其中的部分原因可能是這一地區(qū)多年來禁止開車時(shí)使用手機(jī)。
紐約排在第11位，華盛頓竟然落到30名之后。
加利福尼亞也將通過禁止駕駛時(shí)使用手機(jī)的法令，此禁令將在2008年生效，屆時(shí)，洛杉機(jī)人開車打手機(jī)的頻率很可能會(huì)大大下降。
