 Chamber disappointed by PUC decision on area code
Torrance, CA – The Torrance Area Chamber of Commerce expressed its profound disappointment by last week’s decision by the California Public Utilities Commission to move forward with an overlay of a new 424 area code, which directly impacts many residents and businesses in the 310 area code.
Businesses moving within the 310 area code or expanding their operations could be faced with half the office in one area code and half in the other.
Also, Knabe says the decision by the CPUC was premature given the FCC’s decision, also last week, to create two special technology related area codes in California – solely for the purpose of devices like ATM’s, credit card machines and point of sale machines – all automated entities.

 August 24, 2005 - Assembly Member Jerome E. Horton Speaks Out Against 310 Area Code Overlay   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Section 7943 of the Public Utilities Code states: “…Before approving any new area code, the commission shall first perform a telephone utilization study and implement all reasonable telephone number conservation measures.” The last utilization study conducted for the 310 area was conducted in 2000.
In the five years since this study, conservation measures have been implemented and have improved number inventories, however, many opposed to the overlay strongly believe that consumer confidence in the necessity of an overlay cannot be gained unless a current utilization report is performed.
An extensive Public Education Program to inform ALL residents in the 310 area code of the pending change in the way they make telephone calls is absolutely essential and the current Public Education Program planned for the 310 overlay does not appear to be sufficient,” Horton concluded.
