The Washington DC metro calling area has been put on warning that 10 digits (NOT 11) shall be mandatory in the near future for calling across the LATA.

Are you sure your business office included the leading '1' when they told you to dial the area code? Or is DC going to remain the odd-man-out in the dialing standards arena?
