area codes
 

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.
