Not quite sure what you mean about this, but I think it's fairly safe to say
that telephone companies would have a massive matrix presence seeing as it's
their computers that make the matrix what it is.

Good point, so what would be done ?

This certainly one way to go, but it just makes it more challenging for other
companies. You also have to worry about the telephone company itself, it may
have red-9 nodes but they have the pass codes, and what about the feds ? Will
they still have access ? What about a crime that has been committed against
company X and company X knows that the local telephone company has within it's
computers the information necessary to find out who was responsible for that
crime. If the phone company refuses does company X retaliate ? Or does it
appeal to the corp court ?
