In my experience the vast majority of European 16 year olds already have mobile phones, in fact my 6 year old daughter is pestering me for a mobile phone, and many of her friends already have one.
She can see no advantages for a fixed line phone, and in fact the only advantages I can see are lower call charges (usually offset by high line rental), and as a conduit for DSL.
