The fundamental difference with the phone and IT systems is that the phone system works on the basis that not everyone will wnat to use the phone at any given time and even if they do, it'll just be momentary. That's why telco's started to freak when "getting online" started to become popular with the bbses. Suddenly, they had many people making many calls at about the same and then holding the line for hours.
Actually, alot of the reason they started to freak out was because they make most of their money connecting and disconnecting calls. They would rather have you make 20 one minute calls, than 1 twenty minute call.
