Plenty of people in other places have tried, enough so that the UK had
to put some rules in place. What surprises me is the sequencing of the
numbers - two calls per number, then increment.

Look at the log again - first call was 14 minutes, and while most of the
rest were only a minute (probably a minimum charge), several were longer.

I believe the original venture is long gone. The Federal Bankruptcy
judge approved to the sale to 'Iridium Satellite LLC' for a half penny
on the dollar, who bought it because they got something they could sell
for a healthy profit. Yes, US-DOD was a major customer of the new company,
but so is the (US) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and a
moderate number of individuals - see the Business Journal reports.
