I may be remembering this wrong, but some countries, I'm thinking of the UK here, have very diffrent laws and rules regarding publishing. I don't remember the total details, but I believe it's something to do with Slander laws. That may be a reason why they're so hesitant.

I do agree with the cell phone company reason though. I'll bet that'd be a nightmare.
