   "The greedy and extortionate nature of the telephone monopoly is
    notorious. Controlling a means of communication which has now become
    indispensable to the business and social life of the country, the
    company takes advantage of the public's need to force from it every
    year an extortionate tribute. Yes, that's how The Times 
    saw it-in 1886."
