I don't have any numbers to offer, but given the near universality of cellular
phones these days among the adult population I could easily see a majority
going for cellular. Car accidents, house fires, and a lot of other types of
911 call are probably almost entirely from mobile. Car accidents and anything
else 911-worthy near a busy probably contribute a ton of calls about the same
incident (not worthwhile calls, but calls nonetheless). There are also many
people, myself included, who do not have a traditional landline. If they don't
have VoIP or it's not working for some reason, everything becomes a mobile call.
Again not arguing one side or another, just that there's enough mobile usage
that it would seem reasonable either way.
