I think the only reason this hasn't happened in the phone system is due to resistance by humans to reading, writing, and entering very long strings of digits. Unfortunately, computers aren't as fussy. My experience is that as people become more (internationally) mobile their use of IDD +xx aaaa bbbb form number spec becomes more common. Likewise with major slices of the UK and Australia recently renumbered, people were forced to ditch their paper investment in old numbers and dropped into line in a semi-standard form of representation which has to be full-number aligned, because the new digits are in front of the old semi-optional prefixes. In other words, the old '7 digits is all people can handle' rule is melting in the face of a larger pool of people who have to use longer digit strings. cheers -George -- George Michaelson | DSTC Pty Ltd Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | University of Qld 4072 Phone: +61 7 3365 4310 | Australia Fax: +61 7 3365 4311 | http://www.dstc.edu.au
