area codes

[kobayashi]

i've studied telecom law endlessly and looked over switched networks and bottlenecks but you know what has never been explained to me?
how the hell do they determine area codes?

i am, of course, referring to the north american 3 digit system.

More than you ever wanted to know about area codes, how they are determined and assigned, and lots of phone number trivia.

I find these things fascinating...most people just think I'm weird.
