This afternoon I used the list of NPAs (Area Codes) at
<URL:http://docs.nanpa.com/cgi-bin/npa_reports/nanpa?function=list_npa_geo_number>
and requested the XML dump for each NPA from Telcodata.us, then compressed
the tar file of all of them. FYI, I rate-limited wget and put a "sleep" in
the shell loop so as not to abuse their network's generosity.

If someone wants the entire thing, I've temporarily left it at
<URL:http://thecomplex.com/npanxx_info.tar.gz>.

I figured that NPAs change infrequently enough to warrant caching this info
with the CDR web interface, rather than calling it from some remote web
database.
