[cisco-voip] OT Re: E-911 setup ERL information

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Typically it happens in situations where an area code spans multiple cities across CO switches and they have run out of numbers. 

In a situation where a city has an area code all to themselves and needs a new one for capacity, then I think it's a different situation. When talking to 911 specialists...they say this is a night mare. 

Let's not even talk about when cities amalgamate and now the PSAP has to figure out which "1st and Main" they have to go to.....

What, then, would be the point of an area code overlay?
