Okay, I knew my archives would shed some light on 606.  :-)

The Kentucky Public Service Commission announced yesterday that the
606 Area Code serving Lexington, Northern Kentucky, and the eastern
portion of the state will get a new (as of yet undetermined) area code
number next year.  Permissive dialing will start April 2000, with
mandatory dialing in October 2000.

The geographic split will assign the new area code to Lexington and
Northern Kentucky, the opposite of the general trend of assigning the
new area code OUTSIDE of the major metropolitan areas.

The PSC's justification for the decision to let the economically
depressed eastern Kentucky region keep the old area code is that
assigning a new area code to eastern Kentucky would further disrupt
its already depressed economy, while the economy of the metro areas of
Lexington and Northern Kentucky is better able to withstand changing
to a new area code.

The Lexington Herald-Leader also has an article on this announcement
at <URL:http://www.kentuckyconnect.com/heraldleader/news/080599/
localdocs/05areacode.htm>.  I was not able to find any news about the
NPA 606 split on the North American Numbering Plan Administration's
web site <URL:http://www.nanpa.com/> yet.

More Darren Stuart Embry, less talk.

	27 October 1999 --- IT'S TIME! --- Ask me for details.

[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: Please explain 'Its Time' on October 27.
I think I know already, but others would be interested.   PAT]
