Out of curiosity, does anyone have a good pointer to the history of how / why US mobile ended up in the same numbering plan as fixed-line?
The other answers address the history here better than I ever good, but I wanted to point out one example I hadn't seen mentioned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_code_917 917 was originally a mobile only area code overlay in New York City. For reasons that are unclear to me, after that experiement it was decided that the US would never do that again. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell () ufp org PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/
