Subject: Other unused NPAs?

 So we are running out of area codes.  How about reclaiming the 905 & 706
 codes by breaking the North-American Zone 1 hack that uses these codes for
 Mexico in violation of the CCITT rules?  Or would this be too inconvenient?
 If we could do it, it would give a total of 4 free NPA codes (706, 905, 909,
 917).

 Is there some good reason this cannot or will not be done?
