We didn't "skip" anything. I don't believe any 'rightsholder' has ever demanded that all postal mail be stopped because they've accused the mail receptacle of receiving infringing material. Or that telephone service be suspended because someone's listening to infringing material on it. Or that all amateur radio equipment in a household be surrendered because someone broadcast infringing material. (This last one would seem to be the most likely scenario to have occurred, but I believe the HAM folk are generally self-regulating...) Besides, in the US, the FCC did indeed decide that plain-old telephone service was indeed so important to our society that they created regulations to provide access to service at the same price no matter how distant people lived from the nearest 'central office.' I don't believe anyone has ever had any ability to remove telephone service from a home except the home owner and phone company and only for reasons of non-payment of the bill.
