At least in the US, the 50% crossover of households without landlines was a few years back.

Absolutely, and I'm agreeing with that.
Though again, that's households without landline service. The households still have landline access, in the sense that they're wired to the network.
The actual penetration is closer to 20% now in many regions. Staggeringly low. And again, I think PSDN as a whole -- that's mobile dialed and VOIP SIP calls, as well as POTS -- may not be long for this world. The spam / robocall issue is the tip of the iceberg. Personal and business fraud is another major element.
