Is this really true? (For residential service I mean)

In areas where there is a large concentration of directory numbers
it might be useful to run a digital trunk to a remote switching unit.
If the number of digital channels is less that the number of directory
numbers, some blocking would occur under heavy load.  I think I have
heard of such arrangements.
