Wouldn't it also be a legtimate use when instances arise (I had one two 
weeks ago) where one would need to contact a set (or subset) of 
customers in a timely fashion?

We had to do an emergency router swap, and something like that would 
sure have been nice compared to the way I had to do it.

Not all automated dialing is evil.
