Wisconsin to add new area codes to supplement 715, 920

MADISON - New telephone customers in northern Wisconsin will be assigned to
new area codes, state regulators decided Thursday.
The decision comes as the Wisconsin Public Service Commission grapples with a
dwindling supply of numbers in the wireless world.
"Usable telephone numbers are a finite resource," PSC chairman Eric Callisto
said.
New customers in the 715 area code, which covers roughly the northern half of
the state from Eau Claire to Marinette, could get a 534 number as soon as
mid-2010. Current customers will keep 715.
New customers in the 920 area code, which includes the Fox Valley and Green
Bay, will get a 274 number starting in late 2011. Existing customers will
keep 920.
(see link for rest of article)
I suppose that it was inevitable and we did go though a split from 414 to 920
11 years ago.
