The ILEC or CLEC needs to be operating in the rate centre for which they
request an assignment. So in our case, we are operating in
Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Brooklin, Oshawa, Bowmanville, and Port Perry. As
such, we have received assignments for those locations.
We are in the process of turning up operations in Toronto, and as such we
have requested and received our assignment for Toronto although its not live
yet (*shamless plug* ..... yes we will have 416 DIDs available)

So in this case, do the ILEC or CLEC companies need to be local to the
country or city in order to get the local number assigned to their equipments?
Thanks,
Richard

NANPA assigns the area codes for North America
CNAC (now SAIC Canada) deals with the NXX assignments (known as CO Codes)
for Canada. You have to be an ILEC or CLEC and connected to the SS7 network in
order to get an assignment. That is how we got ours:

So the Internet has the http://www.IANA.org that doles out IP addresses
and other number spaces to the world. What's the equivalent in telephony? Who
assigns the country codes? Who in canada/us assigns the area codes? Who then
assigns the exchanges? I presume it's the carrier that assigns the actual last
4 digits.
