It's been around for years in one form or another - used to be called the Light User Scheme. In the early days of dialled access to third party telecoms providers it was a useful way of minimizing your line rental charges (because anyone could get it back then - you didn't have to prove hardship). BT got wise eventually and barred the access numbers from the service.
