Me too - I remember when my Dad got the nasty call from AT&T because he plugged 
in an unauthorized phone in the house - I guess they could tell from the 
additional resistance on the line. But the phone system worked pretty reliably 
back then - can’t say the same about today’s misc mash of systems.

Anyway, back to the topic… this looks like most telecom debates: people latch 
onto one side or the other, the fight is in the context (problem statement and 
the definitions) but underneath it all there are actually reasonable 
perspectives on each side.
