Other messages to telecom digest asked about 909 and 917; it had just been
announced that 903 would be created in 1991(?) by splitting 214 in Texas.
The reasons suggested for not using 909 and 917 were:
1. 909 looks too much like 707.
2. What is to be area 510 is next door to 916.

(Telecom Moderator: You forgot about 903 coming into use in Texas; it was
in the splits list I sent.)
