In a TELECOM Digets #110, Anthony Siegman
(siegman@sierra.stanford.edu), asks the value of his residential phone
number.  My employer recently bought NXX-1000 for $1,500.  This is
being used as the FG-A number for a long-distance reseller, where
easily memorized numbers are important to have.  (We're also getting
NXX-9595 wherever possible throughout the rest of the state, to make
memorizing the numbers easier.)
