Just curious (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

Why was the 911 call "911" and the 914 called "914" and the 944 called "944"...etc (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Hummm (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

I thought it was because you cannot trademark a number. But, you can trademark a product name like Cayman.

I thought that was why the 901 became a 911, trademark issues.
