I never had any objection to 1-Nxx-xxx-xxxx, it is the real number
as far as the world wide dialing scheme goes.  What really bugs
me is systems like Boston which require 1 before some seven digit
numbers and prohibit it before others.  Almost all my calls are
business calls and if I go to the effort of making a phone call
I could care less whether it is "long distance" or not (at least
if it is within North America).
