hmm, so you could put 230VAC on the line? I hope not!
Well that would be rather pointless, but there are other funky things you can do... A long long time ago some friends of mine just had their first two copper wires from the PTT, but were still waiting for the approved modems, so they ran RS-232 directly over it in a 3-wire configuration: RX, TX and ground..
The spectrum management is not as bad as you think, it helps that all the technologies can work on the same cable without disturbing each other (or at least with as little as possible).
It would be nice if those rules would be applied uniformly and would make sense. Saying "everything which is too competitive with us is forbidden" doesn't strike me as very helpful for anybody but Swisscom.
