The statutory definitions for what is or is not a common carrier are pretty vague, but I highly doubt they'd apply to a mud - not even cable networks are considered common carriers.
Furthermore, if that were the case then it would open up a whole range of further legal requirements - in particular, four requirements pertaining to (1) the interception of call content; (2) the interception of call-identifying information; (3) the delivery to law enforcement of intercepted call content and call-identifying information; and (4) the security of intercept operations and the privacy and security of communications not authorized to be intercepted.
Or to put it another way, you'd be legally obliged to provide far more advanced logging capabilities than most (any?) muds currently provide.
