It's common in Bell Canada's service region in Ontario and Québec. They still provide dial tone on each pair, though, 
to help techs avoid re-using apparently active pairs when they're out and about (and I think each naked pair is still 
run through a DMS so they can get their full set of line stats through the normal management platforms).
