The problem merely arose from the North-American, that includes Canadian,
telephone companies who are the only ones in the world who do not follow
the ITU numbering-standard.
 
Had they followed it then:
 
* 911 would be 112 (the whole of Europe went through the pains of this
  adaption as well, so it can be done)
* there would be no long-distance numbers starting with 12, hence a
  1-12x-xxx-xxxx would not exist
* we would not be have this exchange of ideas
