[comp.dcom.telecom] NXX's per NPA

de@cs.rit.edu (Dave Esan) (12/05/90)

It is time for my quarterly posting of the total number of exchanges
in each NPA.  It will give you some idea of why NPA's are getting
split, and which NPA's are likely to be split soon.  The count is
based on the BellCore V&H tape of 10/15/90, and does not include
Mexican codes (52x) or other place codes (88x).  I have include as
known or potential NPAs.

The top ten are:

213: 709		212: 653		919: 611
214: 705		404: 642		416: 609
201: 682		415: 629		512: 608
301: 679

Of these:

213 is scheduled for a split (to 310).
214 has split but still has permissive dialling of calls to 903.  Its count
    should drop substantially when this ends.
201 has split but still has permissive dialling of calls to 908.  Its count
    should drop substantially when this ends.
301 is scheduled for a split (to 410).
212 is scheduled for a split (to 417).
404 is, to the best of my knowledge, not scheduled for a split.
415 is scheduled for a split (to 510).
919, 416, and 512 are not scheduled for a split at this time.

Interestingly, 714 is number 18 on this list.  While its growth may
be more explosive than save 215 (#14), I can't imagine that it is more
that much faster than 416 in Toronto, 404 in Georgia, or 919 in North
Carolina.  Perhaps being a right coast person has me prejudiced.


The entire list is as follows:

213: 709  405: 525  816: 436  204: 341	908: 301  309: 253  906: 109
214: 705  713: 515  913: 428  818: 339	819: 301  709: 252  302: 106
201: 682  615: 511  412: 412  219: 338	505: 294  806: 251  807: 105
301: 679  314: 505  317: 404  519: 336	905: 293  315: 251  917: 0

No, you mean area 917 instead of 417.  417 is in Missouri.
