[comp.dcom.telecom] Future Projections of Area Code Growth

bapat@uunet.uu.net (Subodh Bapat) (12/04/90)

Thanks to cmoore@brl.mil (VLD/VMB) for posting a very informative and
entertaining history of area code changes!

Now, does anyone have any projections as to the rate at which area
code changes will be required in future? Seems to me from recent
history that the frequency with which new area codes are required has
been increasing in recent years - a trend which, I suspect, will only
accelerate with the proliferation of cellular, fax, and related
technologies.

If anybody has Bellcore's (or anybody else's) projections for new area
codes beyond 1992 and/or planned changes to basic NANP
syntax/structure, I'd appreciate their sending it to the Digest.
