Austrian PSTN

Excerpt:
Dialplan
The Austrian dialplan is a variable length numbering plan, which consists of 
area codes and subscribers numbers. Area Codes are from 1 to 4 digits in 
length, subscriber numbers vary even more. Some Numbers (mostly used by 
companies) allow the use of Direct Inward Dial Extension. If such a number is 
used, it is up to the company to decide on the length of extensions, meaning 
that any length can be used.If too long extensions are used, the numbers might 
not be reachable from some sources. This is especially relevant with regard to 
number presentation inside of isdn, as stated under "Voice Interfaces and 
signalling".
 
A copy of the Austrian dialplan is maintained by the austrian regulatory 
council at http://www.rtr.at/en/tk/nationaleRufnummern.


The emphasis on "variable length numbering", if you consider that austria is a 
small country which is physically not able to harbor more than 16 million 
peoples in a sane way, the numbering plan is more then sufficient, austria is 
not like germany with > then 88 million inhabitants which needed a 
reconfiguration of their numbering plan some years ago.
