Re: Ofcom VoIP Public Forum

[James Seng <]

Thanks. I just read the doc.

So there is no forum...just a document for public consultation. They 
seem to be following Japan assigning a new number block.

Does anyone knows if the number assignment comes together with ENUM?

side question not related to ENUM: Reading the doc, it appears only 
Public Electronic Communications Network (PECN) can asked for a 056 
numbers from Ofcom (see Annex E of the consultation). Not familiar with 
UK regulation, how does one become PECN?
