Supposedly all CO's in an area code must be ESS before this capability can be installed. I asked our local business office about plans for this service in the 415 area code, and after some discussions was told that the number of old switches in the San Francisco area put an all ESS area code some years in the future. All current CO's have Automatic Number Identification so that long distance billing will work, of course, but the question is whether this information is forwarded beyond the originating CO when the destination is not an inter-LATA toll call.
