3. A few years back, there was some talk about putting together a reverse cell phone directory. All of the different cell phone service providers would contribute their numbers, and the directory would be made available. According to the Federal Communications Commission, the cell phone providers opted out of the 411 cell phone directory because they feared that mobile phone user confidentiality would be lost if cell numbers became public domain information.
