[comp.dcom.telecom] New AC for SF Bay Area?

Swenson.PA@Xerox.COM (02/10/89)

wales@CS.UCLA.EDU (Rich Wales) asked: Is anyone on this list aware of any
near-term plans to create a new area code out of portions of 415 and/or
408?

I have seen an item that Pac Bell is planning to split Alameda and Contra
Costa counties out of AC 415,  This was supposed to happen in a few years.
  I don't remember the source; it could have been in my phone bill insert
or in a newspaper item or elsewhere.

  I live in Alameda county, and I am not overjoyed about changing area
codes, but it has to come.

  Alameda and Contra Costa counties are on the east side of San Francisco
Bay from the south end of the bay north (the name of the Bay changes from
San Francisco to San Pablo),  east along the south shore of Carquinez
Strait and Suisun Bay and part of the Sacramento-San Joquin delta and then
south including Livermore and back to SF Bay.
