- WinGeek, on 10/15/2008, -0/+28But how is Neo going to get into the matrix?
- SlackerCSB, on 12/04/2007, -0/+23My kids are going to watch Superman and have no idea what is going on when he enters the phone booth to change...
- dsmx, on 12/04/2007, -2/+19Terrible news for Bill and Ted.
- damnitdaniel, on 12/04/2007, -1/+18That's just about the most awkward sentence I have ever read...
- banmaster, on 12/04/2007, -0/+14So they're just going to turn the existing phone boxes into suicide booths right?
- inactive, on 12/04/2007, -5/+15This is bad when the USA becomes a total police state pay phones would be a good tools to coordinate with other resistance cells.
- mpcamer, on 12/04/2007, -0/+7This is bad news for 2600, to say the least. :(
http://www.2600.com/phones/ - Books, on 12/04/2007, -1/+7Funny, here in Canada (at least Toronto), they jacked the price from 25 cents to 50 cents. I found that odd, until seeing this.
- Murdats, on 12/04/2007, -0/+4yeah, its not like they could every swap information with this new fangled internet thingy
- Carlsberg, on 12/04/2007, -0/+4They jack the price because Bell was deregulated and can now set prices in accordance to the market instead of what the government deems as an affordable price
- drtyfrnk, on 12/04/2007, -0/+4It's everywhere in ontario now
- macabaret, on 12/04/2007, -1/+4Opportunity has stopped calling.
- Coolmatt49, on 12/04/2007, -0/+3Futurama: "Thank you for using Stop 'n Drop! America's favorite suicide booth since 2008." Oh *****...I guess Futurama does predict the future.
- s0nicfreak, on 12/04/2007, -0/+2Many pay phones I've seen in the US accept credit cards and phone cards as well as coins...
- hyphen8ted, on 12/04/2007, -8/+10but how will I conduct my mafia business/call in anonymous tips to detectives/house 40 1950's college students now?
- carpespasm, on 12/04/2007, -1/+3prepaid cell phones?
- nastajus, on 12/04/2007, -0/+2I heard Bell's losing about 10% phone booths per year. They're not bothering to repair many. In a few years they'll all be extinct here too.
- kainnation, on 12/04/2007, -1/+2So what happens when a woman is being raped and doesn't have a cell phone?
- saisumimen, on 12/04/2007, -0/+1Won't someone PLEASE think of the drug dealers?
- s0nicfreak, on 12/04/2007, -0/+1Yes, because so many women, in the middle of a "rape", call for help on a payphone.
- ryllharu, on 12/04/2007, -1/+2AT&T killed the pay phone when they upped the cost from a 25 cents to 50. Who kept change in their pocket in the first place? If they had switched from coins to cards like the pay phones in Asia and parts of Europe, things might have been very different for the pay phone.

- Jonsblckhwk, on 12/04/2007, -0/+1They can gather more specifically identifying information about you from your cell phone why do they need these old things?
- Boshow, on 12/04/2007, -0/+1Payphones have saved my ass on a few occassions. Besides, how else are we supposed to get into the Gibson? Hack the Planet!
- nastajus, on 12/04/2007, -0/+1It could be a uh toilet room.
- Carlsberg, on 12/04/2007, -0/+1Sorry i wasn't specific enough, thought it was obvious what I meant in saying bell was de-regulated by taking in the context of the comment which i responded...
- Murdats, on 12/04/2007, -0/+1public cable isnt the only way to use the TCP/IP protocol.
nothing can stop an encoded wireless transmission. we can, if need be fall back to dialup, direct connections through the PSTN
and if we get really desperate there is always the good old sneaker nets or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carrier ... - nastajus, on 12/04/2007, -0/+1Not really, they've been in decline and disrepair for years.
- nastajus, on 12/04/2007, -0/+1Young'en.
- Immune, on 12/04/2007, -2/+2AT&T still has pay phones?
- sd071228, on 01/03/2008, -0/+0test, ignore
- inactive, on 12/04/2007, -3/+3When we become a police state the internet will be the first thing to go.
- DutchMaster, on 12/04/2007, -1/+1poor clark kent (superman), what is he to do now?
- placombe, on 12/04/2007, -0/+0A sign of changing times...when I first read this head line I thought, AT&T is giving up on prepaid cell phones?
- teh_techie, on 12/04/2007, -1/+1They didn't jack the price because "Bell is de-regulated". A company doesn't become de-regulated... The CRTC can de-regulate certain services where there is competition. The competition doesn't have to be direct either. In this case the competition is Cellphones vs. Payphones. No one is using payphones anymore... so why regulate what people have to pay? In Saskatchewan, there are many things that are regulated about SaskTel, but they are jacking the prices for Payphones too. SaskTel is FAR from de-regulated!
- MoreIntelligent, on 12/04/2007, -1/+1yet another way for fascism to creep into the united states.. no public phones means that they can track you easier, collect data, listen into your conversations.. with no warrants...After all the patriot act saw to that.
almost everybody has a cell phone now dont they? their own little gps even when its off.. its not. - xboxundone, on 12/04/2007, -2/+1use the internet :)
- DaBrainiac, on 12/04/2007, -5/+2LOL. What kind of a loser what pay to use a phone. Oh, yeah...
