Other than the fact that it's expected etiquette to allow others to=20
remain up to date on the conversation, there isn't one. Life's full of=20
arbitrary conventions.

SPCS has the LDS church? 1) VZW does, and 2) Both ATT and VZW have a
contract with BYU. That is small beans compared to the army. BTW VZW
has a contract with Boeing as well.

When LNP first was ordered to us to have completed by 1999... It was the
billing and accounting issues that were the biggest problem, and second the
NPA would no longer mean an area or vendor but that each number would indeed
be its own provider (as the Land Line CO would read them), we had many
numbers in the index we were running at the end of 1999.
GTE Northwest area was one of the trail and test areas... and it works.
Just drop the idea of a NPX meaning any area.

boeing has their main contract with sprint. ask boeing employees who
are issued cell phones, and i bet you 95% of them will say sprint, and
then the 5% that say verizon, ask them how big of a pain it was to get
that verizon phone.

Just an FYI. Worked with a bunch of higher-ups for boeing.
