Re: size

Here in Orlando, the service area spans a good 100 miles from north
to south. There are only 5 cells in the Orlando systems.

Re: two neighboring systems

Another example: Orlando and Melbourne are two seperate systems, however
one will hand calls off to the other.

Also, calls made from the Melbourne system to local numbers in Orlando,
are treated as local calls, while Bell South charges INTRA-LATA for non
cellular calls between the same points.
