[asterisk-biz] NPA-NXX to City, State Database

[Peter Beckman]

OK, So I have the LERG.  It's ugly.  NWYRCYZN02 is not pretty.  Neither is
"NEW YORK METRO NY".  Some entries state "BROOKLYN" or "QUEENS" or
something else.  I want an NPA-NXX database that corresponds to a valid
USPS City, State.

What do YOU use to tell your customers who do not understand what a rate
center is WHERE a DID/DDI is "located?"  Is there a database other than the
LERG you rely on?  Who has the best and most accurate data?  _IS_ there a
source of accurate data?

The biggest problem I have is that for large metro areas, New York, NY for
example, it covers a lot of territory. If "Bronx, NY" is a valid city,
state combo for the USPS, it's good for me.  But there is no Queens, NY
that I can find.  Queens is a county, (queens village and queensbury, ny do
exist), but not a city like Bronx.

Did you know that Manhattan, NY and Queens, NY do NOT exist according to
the USPS, but Staten Island, Bronx and Brooklyn, NY do?  Talk about
confusion.
