Do I read this right ?! Are you really charging upto 2500 € for one single delegation just because it happens a few subdomains higher in the ENUM tree? So a company or university with four digit extensions in NL would have to pay 100+ times more than another one in DE, AT or CZ ?! (note that CZ uses fixed numbering plan like NL) This is unbelievable... User ENUM is hardly alive anyway, and such pricing schemes will kill it completely. And I bet this kind of pricing heavily violates EU anti-monopoly legislation, since a dominant player is not allowed to charge different prices for the same service. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- ---- ---- Marian Ďurkovič network manager ---- ---- ---- ---- Slovak Technical University Tel: +421 2 571 041 81 ---- ---- Computer Centre, Nám.
