Shouldn't do that, but it can work.

You refere to BTZ. That has AFAIK fallen away completely since we get a free
market. Technically it will work and what the Telekom now says is simply: We
place one "masterplug" in the wall. Everything behind that plug is not our
stuff, do whatever you want, but don't tell us that the master plug is not
working, it is.
