I recently worked in Telco, a long time before that I was in Research and Dev for the Military.

Telco has nothing on the military.

We had a database of TLA's[1] that was over 11,000 strong. Also everyone knew your TLA wasn't worth a damn unless it changed every three months or so.

[1] That's a 'Three Letter Acronym' - yes, there is a TLA for TLA.

So even back then you were already than halfway though the available space. Assuming they were all unique, which they wouldn't be. :)
