[edit] No overlay plans?

Quoth the article:

As of 2005, there are no plans to split or overlay the area code, probably since the total population of the District is less than 600,000, and the number of possible legitimate telephone numbers in an area code is more than ten times this number.

I slapped the citation needed template on this. It sounds reasonable on the face of it, but I'd bet that DC has an unusually high number of cell phone/blackberry numbers and copious amounts of office phones needed for the various agencies of the federal government. It's probably still not enough to merit an overlay, but the sentence as is smells of speculation. --Jfruh (talk) 19:10, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I changed the sentence to reflect NANPA analysis rather than mathematical guesswork.
