Guest host Patt Morrison talks with USC Annenberg School for Communication Professor and telecom expert A. Michael Noll. With news of the change in the 310 area code, Professor Noll will reveal why we’re running out of area codes so quickly, and why, in ten years, area codes may have 4 digits instead of 3. He’ll also talk about why sound quality on telephones is deteriorating, why disconnects are increasing, and what, if anything, can be done about it. Patt will also talk with John Parsons, Redondo Beach City Councilman and member of a coalition community groups and regional elected leaders organized to stop the new area code, and Ken Muche, spokeman for Verizon Wireless.
