You are, of course, aware that the US is moving to a mixed 10/11

years, you'll start hearing about this for people's home/mobile/work
numbers?
I'd like to hear more about this...I couldn't find any mention of
it via Google.
Do you have a URL?
BTW I assume you're talking about more than just the need to use 1
preceding a 10 ditig long distance call, which has been the case
since ...forever. :-)
11 digit dialing is very common already in areas where phone number
density has resulted in split area codes
It used to be the case where for a long distance call that was not
international you could just use the 10 digit and the leading 1 (for
north america) was assumed
That seems to no longer be the case where I am in Canada
