Splitting the 502 areacode, the PSC on Monday ordered that most of western Kentucky use a new "270"areacode and that the old "502" areacode remain in use for Louisville, Bardstown, Frankfort and many surrounding communities.
The decision was a reversal of an earlier plan to impose an "overlay" areacode that would have given the 270areacode only to new telephone numbers and required 10-digit dialing for all local phone calls.
Because the growth rate of telephone numbers in the 606 area is not as swift as it is in the 502 area, an areacode overlay did not appear the most desirable option for that region.
