To a certain extent NTL (or rather whoever they call themsevles this
week ex NTL) already works like that - its actual exchanges are not
necessariliy physically located in the ''area codes'' that they serve.
It was a bit of minefield to understand sometimes - one of the
franchise areas I ran tech support when it was called NTL was straight
forward but the other was complex - it was possible for a residential
service to have two lines from the same exchange but with different
''area codes''.
