Not to mention unlisted numbers, which should be an automatic,
cost-free right. The way I figure it, anyone who I WANT to have my
number, will HAVE my number. Pretty much anyone else is a
telemarketer. To leave a number out of the system costs 1 bit of data,
and should therefore be free.

But of course we couldn't have that, because it would eat into Sensis'
database-selling profits.
