Bell's a bad example, because it was a regulated monopoly; I gather things
changed a lot after AT+T split up.

There are plenty of older examples people aren't bringing up, though, such as
the Trans-Atlantic telegraph cable.

Still, I think this whole debate is a perfect example of 'the plural of
"anecdote" isn't "data"'.
