It is true that Bell has a basic duty to keep a secure infrastructure, especially given their power as an upstream provider in Canada. If they don't have their direct business in order, what does that say about what they lease to other providers? Ultimately though, it's not as if Bell can't track unusual usage patterns. If a line that is usually used for local and infrequent long distance suddenly racks up thousands of dollars in charges for activity in, say, Africa, what do they think is going on, really? Our analysis department can pick out these extreme changes in usage. Assuming Bell can, perhaps they should be issuing proactive alerts.

Bell is not making their own infrastructure secure - so why should the customer be held liable when there is no way to prove where the fraud took place - on the customer's property or in the Bell box?
