WAYNESVL prefixes in area code 828

NANPA records 16 assigned NXX blocks to rate center WAYNESVL in area code 828, 2.2% of the 724 blocks assigned in the code. A rate center is the billing geography a block is allocated to – NANPA truncates the name to ten characters, so read it as a NANPA label rather than a town. 7 holders hold those blocks, the largest being PAETEC ITEL, LLC (3), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - NC (3), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - NC (3). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-06-11 and the most recent 2005-09-15. 9 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots. The same rate center name also appears in area codes 217, 283, 513, 573 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
