The 7 prefix started back when all the chains were requiring two lines in the rooms. The 7xxx was line 1 for voice and 6xxx was line 2 for modem... remember modems? Seems strange that the same IT geeks who are specifying CAT6 cabling "in preparation for VoIP" can't see there's no longer a need for the prefixes.
