what worries me...
is that these carry our puter landlines.
apart from being somewhere to put posters they often seem to be open to the elements and either full of junk or spilling their guts.
i have a friend who works in telecoms and he doesn't seem worried by this. it is all expalinable by the tinyness of the medium nowadays. i was in a telephone exchange once as a yoof and it was a massive factory space full of analog - which would all fit on a circuitry board now

i'd be less worried about the gear being exposed to the elements than i would about knowing that any person can walk up and jack into a trunk line without being thwarted by the least bit of protection. hackers paradise! ;)

god, they'd really have to know what they were doing, there'd have to be an easier way. good luck to them if they can do it, tho i've never heard of it

It's not so bad as most phreaks stick to using the line-man's jack in them, and if they use any other it's really just luck that decides whether or not your line is used and charged.
It's extremely simple to do but illegal, these are on main streets it should be easy to enforce law why isn't it being done?
It's impossible to do in my village full stop.
