Who holds 660 exchanges
53 carriers hold the 516 central office codes assigned in 660. Level 3 Communications, LLC - Mo has the most, with 63 (12%). 406 of the codes (79%) are pooled, meaning the code holder shares blocks of 1,000 numbers with other carriers instead of using all 10,000 itself. Numbers can move between carriers through porting, so a code's holder tells you where the block started, not where every number lives now.
