Telephone Subscribership Report (through March 2001)

This is the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC’s) report on telephone subscribership in the United States, presenting subscribership statistics based on the Current Population Survey (CPS) conducted by the Census Bureau in March 2001. Statistics from that survey estimated that 94.6% of all households in the United States had telephone service. That level represents a 0.5% increase over the previous survey in November 2000, a change that is statistically significant. The report also shows subscribership levels by state, income level, race, age, household size, and employment status.
