PSC backs 10 digit dialing to add two area codes
Maryland should adopt an overlay plan adding two new area codes within current boundaries and require 10 digit dialing, the PSC staff says. They warn a geographic split of 410 and 301 would be disruptive, costly, and soon require further changes as demand for numbers grows.
