I F we're a society without a Superman, it may
be because he has nowhere to change clothes.
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.

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. The bank informed her
a withdrawal had already been made at an
ATM in the Grant Park Shopping Centre.
The suspect's picture was captured by
the ATM's camera.

When: May 8, 12: 12 p. m.

He then left the store without
paying. Once outside, he was
confronted by a loss- prevention
