Here is a breakdown of network sites in North America (ONLY)
by area code:
# AC # AC # AC # AC # AC
147 201 9 203 11 206 12 212 12 213
3 214 5 215 4 216 8 217 7 301
45 303 2 305 4 306 1 309 84 312
5 313 4 314 1 315 13 317 2 401
5 403 13 404 2 405 22 408 6 412
38 415 9 416 23 503 6 505 1 507

(This data gleaned by massaging my latest copy of net.news.map stuff.)
The problem, mel@houxe, is obvious without even looking at Europe
or Australia. Area codes are allocated by human population, not
machine-running-something-like-unix population.
Additionally, mel@houxe, badmouthing the people who are trying to solve
the problem on their own time is not going to win friends and influence people.
Why don't you join the effort underway and contribute?
