About the North American Numbering Plan
The
North American Numbering Plan (NANP) is an integrated telephone
numbering plan serving 19 North American countries that share its
resources. These countries include the United States and its
territories, Canada, Bermuda, Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, the
Bahamas, Barbados, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands,
Dominica, the Dominican Republic, Grenada, Jamaica, Montserrat,
St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines,
Trinidad and Tobago, and Turks & Caicos.
Regulatory
authorities in each participating country have plenary
authority over numbering resources, but the participating
countries share numbering resources cooperatively.
AT&T
developed the North American Numbering Plan in 1947 to simplify
and facilitate direct dialing of long distance calls.
Implementation of the plan began in 1951.
The
International
Telecommunications Union (ITU) assigned country code
"1" to the NANP area. The NANP conforms with ITU
Recommendation E.164, the international standard for telephone
numbering plans.
NANP
numbers are ten-digit numbers consisting of a three-digit
Numbering Plan Area (NPA) code, commonly called an area code,
followed by a seven-digit local number. The format is usually
represented as
where
N is any digit from 2 through 9 and X is any digit from 0 through
9.

Resources.

More than 30 years ago Internet didn't exist. Interactive
communications were only made by telephone at PSTN line
cost.
Data exchange was expansive (for a long distance) and no
one had been thinking to video interactions (there was only
television that is not interactive, as known).
Few years ago we saw appearing some interesting things:
PCs to large masses, new technologies to communicate like
cellular phones and finally the great net: Internet; people
begun to communicate with new services like email, chat,
etc. and business reborned with the web allowing people buy
with a "click".
Today we can see a real revolution in communication
world: everybody begins to use PCs and Internet for job and
free time to communicate each other, to exchange data (like
images, sounds, documents) and, sometimes, to talk each
other using applications like Netmeeting or Internet Phone.
Particularly starts to diffusing a common idea that could be
the future and that can allow real-time vocal communication:
VoIP.
We cannot know what is the future, but we can try to
image it with many computers, Internet almost everywhere at
high speed and people talking (audio and video) in a real
time fashion. We only need to know what will be the means to
do this: UMTS, VoIP (with video extension) or other? Anyway
we can notice that Internet has grown very much in the last
years, it is free (at least as international means) and
could be the right communication media for future. |
