I think it is correct that there is nothing to stop somebody publishing a 
wireline number,
not owned by them, in a directory, even it the operator managing the number 
has been told not
to put it in their directory.

In the UK, there are several businesses collecting and publishing 
"ex-directory" numbers,
for example Tony Blair's, etc.

Also, whether a number is listed or not, the number is still accessible, 
simply by anybody
dialling in.
