Nov. 6--TOT Corporation may have to modify the current nine-digit numbering plan after forecasting a number shortage as a result of inefficient allocation of numbers to service operators.

When they changed from the seven-digit to eight-digit system in July last year, executives of the former Telephone Organisation of Thailand claimed it would be able to meet demand for the next 50 years, with 800 million new numbers available.

The 800 million figure took into account the zero prefix that every user must dial. In reality, only 90 million numbers are available, based on eight-digit numbers starting with 1 to 9.
