I'm reasonable sure that's the case for directory assistance. They have been monitoring performance long before computers and grumbling about that for just as long. [comments anyone? I think this is a bit of an overgeneralization. There are a lot of subtle issues involved in places where there isn't an adverserial role at all... -- Dave]
