Weird how they split up Europe into a patchwork.
I’m guessing it’s because France refused to share a prefix code with Britain.
Or more likely, they had a mutual agreement until Britain wanted its own thing, so they exit the deal. Seems like something the English would do. We could have called it Brexit or something
It's not a million miles away from the truth. The UK and France were the main advocates behind the ITU, so they got +33 and +44. Which is...fine...but I've not come across why NA got +1, etc. or even why those numbers were chosen at all.
NA has +1 because the US invented the telephone. Canada is America's hat.
Graham Bell also moved to Canada.
And now we have our most evil telecom, Bell
You sure they're not tied with Rogers?
To be honest, all three are tied for first place evil
Oligopolies control Canada :/
Alexander Graham Bell was Scottish, who moved to Canada and then moved to the US.
