I haven't been to Vienna lately, but am confused by this example. If the same 
phone can be reached by two different numbers, is this because they are in 
the middle of a change in dialing plan? If the two numbers are represented as 
shown above, then that explicitly means that both can be dialed from 
anywhere. Why would the "22" variant be blocked?
