[comp.dcom.telecom] Breaking News? 714 Split

IZZYAS1@oac.ucla.edu (Andy Jacobson) (11/14/90)

According to Tuesday editions of the {L.A. Times}, Pac*Bell and GTE
announced Monday that they will be splitting up area code 714.  The
change is to take effect in Jan. 1993. Unique about this split is that
the telcos won't just decree new boundries, but will actually submit
three proposed boundries, and allow for public comment on the three
plans. (How is not explained).

Seems Southern California with its incredible growth is just sucking
up area codes right and left. 619 (San Diego and eastern California)
was carved out of 714. Then 818 (San Fernando valley) and now 310(West
L.A. and South Bay) out of 213. In 1993, 714 splits again, what next?
At this rate NANP will be using NNX's very soon.
