I do not know what decisions that have been taken, but Western Germany has always had area codes reserved for Eastern Germany, so a unification here would be very simple. If the country code of Eastern Germany (37) is released, it could be reused for the "new" Baltic states. As we are running out of country codes in Europe, the code could best be used for producing ten country numbers: 370, 371, etc. Today I read in the morning paper about plans for Estonia to use the Swedish telecommunication satellite Tele-X. I do hope that this will make it possible to dial Tallin directly. I can dial directly almost anywhere in the world, but I can't dial directly to the Baltic states, which are neighbors to Sweden. /Dan Sahlin email: dan@sics.se
