The story says it all. This is an example what happens when public service regulation is abandoned and replaced by "market forces." To my mind, even the ridiculousness of the high cost is overshadowed by the total lack of working payphones almost everywhere in North America. If people do not have a cell, do not have their cell with them, or their cell battery is dead, then they'd better not need to contact anyone, or they'd better be ready to ask to borrow a stranger's phone. Perhaps you can ask that creepy guy lurking in the parking lot that made you want to call someone in the first place! Another non-cell user, Christopher J.

Hi Joan, Under the Telecommunications Policy section of Canada's Telecommunications Act, 1993, it states that one of the objectives of the country's telecommunications policy is to, "render reliable and affordable telecommunications services of high quality accessible to Canadians in both urban and rural areas in all regions of Canada." More here: http://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/T-3.4/page-1.html#anchorbo-ga:l_I-gb:s_7 Judging from the state of the outdoor pay phones I've tried to use in the Canadian cities of Toronto and Halifax, it would appear that the Act is no longer serving Canadians.
