I think the existence of a national number is the exception rather than the rule, although I appreciate things might be a little different in the UK. How about extending your directory structure to: .../isp/COUNTRY/REGION/ISP/ where COUNTRY is an iso3166 country code, and REGION is either a string representing a local calling area or some other obvious country-specific string like "national". See attached example -- note that I haven't changed your scripts; I've just added an extra layer of directories.
