Your out the use of the phone and their interface equipment is likely
protected as they have to worry about power distibution lines and

than TPC (the phone company).
I wasn't advocating destroying phone company equipment, nor really even
suggesting it. I was just pointing at that in the US, the telcos have far
less ability to control how many phones you have the house than in other
parts of the world.
Anyway, point taken.
