[comp.dcom.telecom] Miscellanea -- Choices of Areacodes, Prefixes

Wow -- I live in California and hadn't yet heard about 310 for L.A.
(I've been off the network for a few weeks, but I didn't figure I'd
missed *that* much.)

One more general question: we had a long period of relative stability
in the Numbering Plan, but then experienced considerable pent-up
demand as we delayed the inevitable expansion.  Anyone care to
speculate when the current spate of area code splits will settle down?
Or are we going to have an area code or two added every year for the
foreseeable future?  Just glancing at the chart someone (sorry, I
forget who) posted recently of prefixes-in-use per NPA, I spotted over
a dozen area codes that look ripe for a split.
