FRANKLINBO prefixes in area code 973

NANPA records 7 assigned NXX blocks to rate center FRANKLINBO in area code 973, 0.9% of the 779 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. 3 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BRIGHTSPEED OF NEW JERSEY, INC. (3), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - DC (3), WARWICK VALLEY TELEPHONE COMPANY - NJ (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-06-17 and the most recent 2002-12-12. 4 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 code 862 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
