How much are taxpayers ...

.. on the hook for this one.

The traditional excuses for dropped or interrupted cellphone calls - atmospheric disturbances, high humidity and heavy vegetation - might not be entirely accurate, a Queen's University professor suggests.

Mathematics and statistics Prof. David Thomson says that solar activity is to blame.

Until researchers better understand how solar energy's effects work, he said, there's not much anyone can do to prevent the dropped calls.

I'd love to hear what he plans to do about it. Quick...

....somebody get this guy a real job.
