CRTC to address the projected telephone number shortage in Nova Scotia and PEI
OTTAWA-GATINEAU, May 24, 2012, 2012 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) --
Today, the Canadian
Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) began a
process to address the predicted telephone number shortage for the
regions served by area code 902 in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward
Island.
The Canadian Numbering Administrator (CNA) has advised the CRTC that
area code 902 is expected to run out of telephone numbers by April
2015. The CNA administers the distribution of phone numbers in Canada
on behalf of the CRTC.
The Commission is establishing a Relief Planning Committee to evaluate
various relief options and make recommendations to the CRTC. The
Commission will then make a decision on the most appropriate option.
The CRTC invites members of the public and telecommunications industry
to participate in this consultation. Those interested in participating
can contact the Canadian Numbering Administrator by telephone at
613-563-7242 or visit www.cnac.ca.
