In the US the “standard” low cost line was listed in the white pages by default, you effectively paid extra - per month - for an unlisted number.

As far as I remember in Italy the situation was different.
You can ask to delist the number when you sign the contract and it was free. I am not really sure if in the case you decided later to delist the number you needed to pay a one time fee for that, but keeping delisted was always free.

Italy, and all of Europe, have always had a greater respect for personal and a lesser respect for business' profits than the U.S.
