thanks for the clarification - my former understanding came from 
Richard's original posting when he noted that "The subscriber simply 
requests the delegation of an ENUM domain in this range via an 
accredited ENUM Registrar."

That's clear.

[Thanks also to Alexander, who also clarified on that very point]

After having slept over it (and some mind massages via private email 
exchange), I guess I need to rephrase the question appropriately:

- What will be 780 termination costs like?
- Is that being set by RTR, the Austrian regulator?
- From what I understand what you (and Alexander) said - "If there are 
multiple gateways available on the SS7 network, [...]" - each TSP/CSP 
can pick any other gateway (true m:n relation), so eventually there 
likely will be a market price for gatewaying.
- In the meantime, there might be only one or two TSPs/CSPs providing 
such gateways. Will they be regulated pricewise for the time being?

Best,
