"Proposals to widen the reach of telephone service were often indignantly resisted. In 1884 a subscriber in Edinburgh was outraged to learn that his local phone company planned to put a number of telephones 'where any person off the street may for a trifling payment ... ring up any subscriber, and insist on holding a conversation with him.'"
