And when N0X/N1X area codes run out, area codes will have to generalize to the NXX form. Also, I believe it's Bellcore that assigns new area codes (but it's the local companies that draw the boundaries?). I guess I wasn't clear enough in the header of my news article. That was a transcription of a L.A. Times article. All the first person references are those of Robert A. Jones, the author of the article. I am aware (from reading the Telecom Digest) that his list of area codes was incorrect. Forgive me for not editorializing the transcription. Let me reiterate for the readers of the digest that other than the first paragraph of my message, the article was the work of and the opinions of and the knowledge of Robert A. Jones. David A.
