The eroding presence of pay phones is just one public marker of a household trend that's been unfolding for a decade, with 2002 being the last time there was an increase in the amount Canadians spent on landlines. New Statistics Canada figures reveal household cellphone costs rose a whopping 189 per cent, to $ 731, between 2002 and 2010 - the latest year for which data are available - while fixed- line telephone expenses fell 32 per cent, to $ 511, over that same period. Amit Kaminer, a telecommunications research analyst with the Seaboard Group, says Canadian carriers are increasingly bundling landlines with TV and Internet services to make them more attractive. He notes they're shrewdly marketed as a lowcost " add- on," as opposed to a primary service. The problem, of course, is the ring of a fixed phone has come to signal a call from one of three people: an older relative, a pollster or a telemarketer. Unsurprisingly, Statistics Canada finds 13 per cent of households - and fully 50 per cent of those led by 18- to 34- year- olds - have moved to using cellphones exclusively. But don't write the eulogy for Alexander Graham Bell's gift to the world just yet. " You know how people thought online shopping would be the death of ( bricks- and- mortar) retail? This is very similar to that," says Tina Dacin, a Queen's School of Business professor with expertise in telecommunications. "( Wireless) isn't going to take over landlines any time soon. There isn't enough trust across the board in technology." For Canadians still clinging to copper circuits, Dacin says landline bills are more than just a nostalgia tax. She notes traditional telephone service doesn't suffer the reception issues of newer technologies, is more reliable, allows greater call security, doesn't have the dubious health associations of cellphones, and is still considered the safest option in an emergency. Notably, not even the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association, which represents mobile stakeholders, sees landlines' supposedly imminent death in the tea leaves. " I think both ( service options) will complement each other for a long time to come," says Marc Choma, spokesman for the CWTA. " I'm sitting in front of my laptop right now, and my cellphone is to the left of me and my landline phone is on the right. I wouldn't have it any other way." That landlines are losing lustre, however, is abundantly clear. Statistics Canada reports household spending on landlines has declined every year since 2002, when it sat at $ 748, with cellphone costs exceeding those of fixed lines in 2009. Per the latest figures, 2010 annual spending saw mobile gapping landlines by fully $ 220. - Postmedia News KATHERINE DOW By Misty Harris What's that RINGING NOISE? The glory days of landlines are over but they're still useful INCIDENT 199 When: April 7 Where: 500 block of Kenaston Boulevard A woman was grocery shopping at a store. After paying for her items, she mistakenly left behind her credit card. About 15 minutes later she realized what she had done and called the bank to report it missing.
