In short the sort of people who need constant attention and, therefore, cellphone coverage to brag to their yahoo friends. Sadly, however, where there's demand, a supplier will inevitably appear, usually to the detriment of folks less fortunate than the "can-you-hear-me-now-where-are-you-what's-the-weather-like" crowd.
As stated above - it's a sad world.
