#1 That's why celluar phones are so appropriate in the third world. NO COPPER WIRE TO STEAL!

In the 3rd and 4th world you use microwaves to base stations. The base stations are behind electrified razor wire with backup generators.

#3 I saw the "Leak" on TV, looks suspiciously like an one inch drilled hole, squirting gasoline about 15 feet in a more or less solid stream.
Where it hit the ground there was a fire, but not while streaming through the air

Self inflicted injuries.
Now around 200 idiots less to drill holes in pipelines.

#4 Some reports have confirmed the hole was drilled.
