Okay, bye (or is that see you again a bit later).
It's not a defense of the telecom industry it's being annoyed by people who assume they know better than people who's job it is to make decisons like this.
Screw trying to understand why these decisions are made, let's just complain.
Is the new system perfect?
Probably not, but for the most part the problems spring from minor inconvenineces to people when it comes to remembering numbers or having to wrap their heads around having to know where they are calling.
That inconveninece compared to changing a few million phone numbers that are connected to a lot of things these days, that ALL have to be changed.
I dial a lot of 780 numbers from here in Calgary, so for me it is less of an inconveneince to know all new numbers are 587 than it is to change all of those 780 numbers, and I'm just one person that won't be burdended financially by this. What about everyone else and any company that has any sort of financial interest in keeping their number the same.
If they didn't do it this way, I'll bet you'd be complaining about how the average business man is being screwed over and forced to cover the cost of chaning that stuff.
Or better yet, what if the government put up the cash to help them pay for it, then I'm sure you'd be ready with a "My tax dollars" arguement.
