A quickly vanishing segment of people. Probably not worth worrying about.

Yeah, soon enough it will be gone, but radio is probably more robust in large scale emergency situations (insert catastrophe of your choice).

Personally, a cellphone hasn't become a routine item for me. I don't really carry one at the ready, though I have a few without plans. When necessary I pay for a month and charge one up.

Probably less people than the number of people that have the radio turned off anyway, so that could be considered "good enough"
