Nearly a Quarter of Primary School Children Have Cellphones
An Amplitude Research survey of 2,400 American consumers, including 2,000 cell phone users -- conducted over a two-week period ending Sept. 20, 2005 -- revealed strong support of a policy that limits cell phone usage to immediately before or immediately after school, but not during school hours. Overall, 85% of the respondents would support such a policy, with similarly high levels of support among the 2,000 cell phone user respondents and the 1,100 respondents with school age children.
