What is Thousands-Block Pooling?
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has given the PUC authority to require mandatory thousands-block number pooling in all of Pennsylvania’s area codes. All participating telephone companies must return their unused telephone numbers in blocks of 1,000. These numbers are then given to other phone companies that need them.
