One point of clarification. Current adult penetration of smart phones to all cell phones in the USA is 46% ( http://pewinternet.org/Reports/2012/.../Findings.aspx ). This is actual data as of March 1, 2012. That is not saturation by any person's definition.

However, total cell phone penetration in the USA is 82% of phones to bodies and is fairly stagnate. That works for me as saturation. No use in getting my 2 year old grandniece a phone quite yet....

The above information does indicate that smartphone ownership is moving up quickly. I'm going to bet that the next time the RC does a pole, it will probably get the necessary support to lift the ban. Until then, the rule is in place.
