Adrian,

Thank you for referring to Japan case. And please accept my 
apologies that I couldn't attend the ETSI plugtest meeting.

Although Japanese Government (regulator) decided 050xxxxyyyy to 
IP phones and 050s are already in the market, they haven't 
decided the number space for ENUM. This means they haven't 
decided whether dedicated or not-dedilated numbers shall be 
used. For trials, they strongly suggested the Trial Group, 
though not forced us, to use different numbers from those 
already assigned including 050xxxxyyyy.

Regards,
Hiro
