== Newfoundland == 

 Are we any closer to addressing the question of the Dominion of Newfoundland? At one point, this page had it out of the original list of 1-902 provinces and area code 709 was claiming the opposite. I'd found a source which claimed the Rock was entirely manual switchboard until 1948 and the cross-province line from St. John's to Port aux Basques not installed until 1949, leaving just an international manual shortwave radio link from St. John's to Montréal and another from St. John's to London UK. That should knock it off this list as Newfoundland was not an operator-dialable point with or without a routing code. Comments?
