Editorial

Seems like every week my mailer queue complains about not having any accounting information for a given phone number in the Nodelist. The phone companies are going nuts trying to keep up with all the new phones and phone number usage like computers, cellphones, faxes, etc., that the telecommunications revolution is creating. Florida has split 3 Area Codes this year and more are on the horizon.

The Coordinators are going to be the first to notice a new Area Code in their area so I'd like to request they [as a group or individually] report these changes and additions to all of us via FidoNews as a .NOT [Notice] or .LET [Letter to the Editor]. C'mon NCs, RCs, ZCs, how about passing that new info along to the rest of us the easy way?

And speaking of such prefix numbers, how is the revolution affecting number distribution in the other Zones? Are new Country Codes coming out as the result of the equipment explosion or has it yet to get to that point elsewhere?

Other than that, it's a typical Issue of typical size. [grin]
