MADISON - New telephone customers in northern Wisconsin will be assigned to new area codes, state regulators decided Thursday.
The decision comes as the Wisconsin Public Service Commission grapples with a dwindling supply of numbers in the wireless world.
"Usable telephone numbers are a finite resource," PSC chairman Eric Callisto said.
New customers in the 715 area code, which covers roughly the northern half of the state from Eau Claire to Marinette, could get a 534 number as soon as mid-2010. Current customers will keep 715.
New customers in the 920 area code, which includes the Fox Valley and Green Bay, will get a 274 number starting in late 2011. Existing customers will keep 920.

I suppose that it was inevitable and we did go though a split from 414 to 920
