[telecom] Area Code 710?

Area Code 710 is assigned to "US Government Services". According to the Wikipedia article on it

is only one working number as of 2006. It seems rather silly to allocate an entire area code to one phone number, esp. when it was assigned when area codes were rapidly becoming scarce (NNX format).

How is it really used? I assume that high level government officials such as the President/VP, House and Senate Members, the Cabinet, high level officials in the military/CIA/etc have 710 area code numbers, not reachable by phones not in that area code other than those with a need (home phones, those of family members). Correct, or am I way off base?
