HISTORY
GLOBAL DIALING SCHEME
http://commons.internet2.edu/gds.html
Each basic number consists of four parts:
< IAC><CC><OP><EN>
1. The International Access Code (IAC)
Also called the world gatekeeper prefix. This is defined as 00
2. A Country Code (CC)
This follows the ITU international access code system. E.g, country code for the Netherlands is 31.
3. An Organisational Prefix (OP)
Many national research organisations follow the telephone number system in their country and use their
area code and organisational telephone exchange prefix.
4. An Endpoint Number (EN)
Your EN can be any number and is decided by each organisation.

"The singular worship of profits so
disgusted Theodore Vail that he left the
Bell Company in 1887. As a parting
shot, he wrote: 'We have a duty to the
public at large to make our service as
good as possible and as universal as
possible, and that earnings should be
used not only to reward investors for
their investment but also to accomplish
these objectives.' Bell management
thanked him for his comments and
wished him a happy retirement.
●
Those he left behind had neither his
visionary business sense nor his sensible
principles of customer service. Ignoring
the protests of customers regarding
exorbitant rates and the pleas of rural
areas for service at any price, Bell's
leadership plundered selected profitable
areas during the remaining years of their
exclusive ownership without realizing
that they were pinning a target on their
own chest in the neglected regions.
Undoubtedly Bell's management
suspected that bad times lay just on the
other side of the initial patent expiration.
Incredibly, they did nothing to prevent
the deluge. In the cities where the Bell
had its biggest stake, competitors
appeared on nearly every corner.
