Austrian PSTN

Excerpt:
Dialplan
The Austrian dialplan is a variable length numbering plan, which consists of area codes and subscribers numbers. Area Codes are from 1 to 4 digits in length, subscriber numbers vary even more. Some Numbers (mostly used by companies) allow the use of Direct Inward Dial Extension. If such a number is used, it is up to the company to decide on the length of extensions, meaning that any length can be used.If too long extensions are used, the numbers might not be reachable from some sources. This is especially relevant with regard to number presentation inside of isdn, as stated under "Voice Interfaces and signalling".
 
A copy of the Austrian dialplan is maintained by the austrian regulatory council at http://www.rtr.at/en/tk/nationaleRufnummern.


The emphasis on "variable length numbering", if you consider that austria is a small country which is physically not able to harbor more than 16 million peoples in a sane way, the numbering plan is more then sufficient, austria is not like germany with > then 88 million inhabitants which needed a reconfiguration of their numbering plan some years ago.
