A lot of people in this country use smartphones. Figures from Pew tell us that 46% of American adults own a smartphone.

The trend holds for DC too. A.C. Valdez writes that:

in a 2010 Public Media Corps survey (which I helped conduct), we found that about 71 percent of blacks and 76 percent of Hispanics in some of D.C.’s poorest wards connect to the Internet using their phones.
The spread of smartphones crosses class lines – if anything, smartphones are even more important for reaching environments with limited connectivity.
