Case in point for area code 202 being used in the suburbs: I see a
contractor's name and address in Arlington, with phone given as
703-xxx-xxxx, where the prefix is indeed Arlington, not Washington.
Then it says "FTS installations, dial 202-xxx-xxxx."  What impact does
the prefix shortage (and the upcoming requirement to dial area code on
local calls crossing NPA border in Washington DC area) have on this?
