Its easy when you can start from scratch and have intelligent and 
sympathetic regulators.

This IMHO will cause Poland a problem over time as ISP who want to sell 
advanced services then realize they have to go through the incumbent to get 
registrations processed. But this is as we all know is a national matter 
and seeing how Poland deals with this will be very interesting to watch.

Authentication is not hard if your country has independent databases that 
can confirm the number holder. North America will not have that problem.

Or make all the service providers all go back to the ITU and get e164.int 
so they can do their own thing and not bother the rest of us.

Or they could use existing LNP databases ... ( ok that sounds really self 
serving )

Its my intention to have some sort of ID on Infrastructure TN2URI issues 
available shortly but I've been completely tied up here with US service 
providers who have begun to wake up to the fact that the lights they see in 
the distance really is a freight train. [news item below]

Note here 70% of US consumers who switch to Cable Based VoIP telephony 
actually port their primary number.
