[enum-wg] ENUM motivation

Joao,

There was a conference in Lisbon in November last discussing the various
aspects of the ENUM play/s motivation etc.

A number of people were in attendance from Telecom Portugal, I would be
happy to discuss these contact with you bilaterally.

Perhaps the forum is not the best place to ask these questions, but there
are certainly folks who have interesting views.

My own view is that this standard radically simplifies some of the more
complex PSTN addressing problems and multiplicity of addressing issues
consumers face.

The markets are going to have to decide to a large extent how this standard
develops.

You may have noticed that the NANP, country code 1 (USA) delegation was
approved yesterday. That might bring even more momentum to adoption of the
standard.

Regards,

Ronan

Hello
We are beginning the request phase to the 1.5.3.e164.arpa in Portugal 
and we still have some doubts about the main motivation towards this 
technology, that would be from:

- Traditional Telcos ? No, they want to bill all calls....
- New Telcos ? No, they want to keep their VoIP networks closed...
- IP Telephony integrators (Alcatel, Cisco, Siemens,...)? Maybe... but 
they usually work together with the Telcos
- the end users ? Yes :)

Is this user interest going to be enough?
And are they willing to pay for this registration? They can use free 
ENUM trees....

How can we push for more ENUM registrations in the e164.arpa tree?

Thanks
Joao Pereira
