I got my US Sprint bill yesterday, which included their
newsletter-type blurb.  The newsletter describes how to use their
International Long-Distance service and provides a chart at the bottom
of the page which lists some countries and their access codes.  

The newsletter states that certain countries are only accessible by
dial-1 service and (specifically!) not accessible by travel-code or
access-code service.  They explain that this is necessary to prevent
unauthorized usage of their network to those countries.  

This is all fine and good, but why just certain countries?
