You could say the same thing about someone who decides they don't need a long distance carrier for their home telephone. They don't have a need to communicate outside their local calling area, or the need is so seldom that it's not worth the cost of maintaining the service.
Not really a good comparation. If you don't have long distance carrier, it simply means that you can not make outgoing calls outside of your area. You can (and will) receive calls originating from outside. So it is kind of complete opposite of what is discussed here ;-)
(basically, you usually always have default long distance provider, your local phone company, it's just that you made arangement with company to block outgoing long distance and/or international calls, you usually can't block incomming).
