The recent changes in the DC area do not create a new area code,
although the {Washington Post} article (cited earlier) treats these
changes somewhat like an area code split. However, the number of
prefixes in 202 (DC) and 703 (Va.) area codes is affected:
1. Pentagon, physically in Virginia even though it was in
area code 202, is now in area 703.
2. Md. and Va. suburbs have been deleted from area 202. Long
distance calls to those areas must use area code 301 or 703
as the case may be.
Will whoever keeps count of prefix usage look into this?
