Hell, Verizon got caught installing spy hardware for the government in phone data centers in the mid-90's.

There was a brief storm about it, then the news media moved on to something else.

I'm sure it's still there, at every phone provider, or something like it.

There was no Verizon until 2000. It might have been Bell Atlantic.
