- The Hush-A-Phone was a device designed to attach to the transmitter of a telephone to reduce noise pollution and increase privacy. Sold by the Hush-A-Phone company, the device was frequently described in its commercial advertisements as "a voice silencer designed for confidential conversation, clear transmission and office quiet. Not a permanent attachment. Slips right on and off the mouthpiece of any phone". The device was the topic of a landmark court case, Hush-A-Phone v. United States. The Hush-A-Phone was regularly referred to in telecommunications policy analysis in the 1980s, attracting renewed interest in the 2000s as a symbol of a small company fighting against a monopoly, especially in the context of net neutrality. Indeed, because Hush-A-Phone eventually won its case against the phone company, the final legal proceedings involving the Hush-A-Phone turned out to be relevant to the eventual breakup of the Bell system. Advertisements for the Hush-A-Phone not only argued for its importance as an aid to privacy, but also noted the device improved clarity of sound, which AT&T would directly argue against. (en)
- Тише-Фон (англ. Hush-A-Phone) — устройство, которое присоединялось к телефонному передатчику и служило для защиты сигнала от окружающего шума. Производитель устройства (Hush-A-Phone corporation) в своих объявлениях называло это устройство «подавителем шумов, предназначенным для поддержания приватного разговора, чистой передачи сигнала и для поддержания тишины в офисе». Оно легко присоединялось к любому передатчику и так же легко снималось. Это устройство стало символом противостояния частной инициативы и устоявшейся монополии, поскольку оно привело к столкновению «Hush-A-Phone corporation» с AT&T, а затем привело к судебному процессу «Hush-A-Phone против США».
