NASHWAUK prefixes in area code 218

NANPA records 3 assigned NXX blocks to rate center NASHWAUK in area code 218, 0.4% of the 708 blocks assigned in the code. A rate center is the billing geography a block is allocated to – NANPA truncates the name to ten characters, so read it as a NANPA label rather than a town. 3 holders hold those blocks, the largest being LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - MN (1), FRACTEL, LLC (1), QWEST CORPORATION (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2012-05-02 and the most recent 2020-10-12. 3 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
