It wasn't a VoIP forum it was the "Numbering arrangements for Voice
over Broadband services" (and there's a big difference).

In summary, if you're offering VoB services Ofcom want people to use
the 056 prefix (which is new, and similar to the corporate 055 prefix).
Assumed to be second line service which is NOTS PATS, which means you
must NOT provide Emergency services (or life line services), also no
DQ services, operator services, special facilities for end-users with
disabilities, itemised billing.

The paper is on the Ofcom website (www.ofcom.org.uk) and responses to
be in by March 24th 2004.
