  I OTOH can assure you that adding "/#" does not violate the
  applicable FCC Rule because on an international basis single
  numerals are not the prefix of any country nor are they
  assignable as such in the foreseeable future, in contrast with
  the two-alpha US/Canada state/province abbreviations which are
  in violation.  That area of the law is "my business".
