they claim they do in their faq, where if it doesnt work for the month
due to that you get a refund or something.  I recall a post from linda I
think on that not that long ago.

Most carriers can change your did at will, broadvoice for example
changed someones tollfree for no aparent reason, information of that was
posted to this list about the same time as the comments on their faq,
maybe a month ago.

you should reread the constitution, you dont have an absolute right to
speech in america, private entities can curtail that freely, think of a
movie theater where you can be removed if you talk during the movie.
Then there are other limitations, such as you cant yell 'fire' in a
crowded theater, etc.

The first amendment is a limitation on the government not a priviledge
granted to you, its a symantic difference but one that need to be
understood if you want to understand the meaning and intent of the
amendment.  

And lastly something that most people dont seem to understand is that a
right to speech doesnt guarantee a right to be heard.

It is providing it is delivered to the correct person.  You can
obviously try to challenge it as 'defective service' but by doing that
you admit that you infact got it.  But its too late to try to say that
you didnt get it now, your post that you were infact served is now
archived all over the net :)  assuming it was actually service and not
just a more informal notice.

To prove this is accepted by the courts, well sorta (I dont recall the
exact cite, but google does have it indexed somewhere) a lawyer
challenged notice in court saying the email was lost (he didnt appear in
the first place) - he wasnt saying it wasnt sent, because he cant prove
that, only saying that he never received it - something no one else can
prove under normal circumstances.  This was last summer iirc.
