It would have made more sense, when you come down to it, for urban Ottawa to get the new area code and to cease handing out 613 numbers in urban Ottawa so as to maximize their life elsewhere since there's not really a compelling case to hand out 343 numbers to anyone outside Ottawa's urban boundary given that most of the growth in phone numbers is from Ottawa and not the rest of the area code.
