I received a notice from Bellcore today announcing that beginning
1/12/92, dialling 1+NPA for intra-NPA toll calls in area code 206 will
become mandatory.  This is good news, because I was afraid that when
they got around to permitting NXX format for prefixes, that they might
do away with 1+ for intra-NPA toll, making it difficult to tell when
one is dialling a "local" toll call.

The new dialing procedure will be enabled 10/6/91.

A question I have is on the average, how long after the switch from
NNX to NXX prefixes do they finally announce an NPA split?
