[enum-wg] ENUM Adoption - Does a business case matter?

Hi Mark,

Let's say that I'm a user (not a company, even less an operator). I
have a SIP phone that supports ENUM direcly (it queries the golden
tree, understand the registers flags, queries the DNS based on the
URI, and makes the call). ENUM redirects to a user that is registred
on your server. Would you accept the calls? (note... there are no
costs neither a internconection contract).

What if it was the other way around? Would you redirect your calls to
a URI with whom you don't have any relashionship? Would you even trie
to deliver the call, and redirect it through PSTN if failed?

Who applies to "voip operaton" on your view?
Could a non profit organization with thousands of numbers? [as NREN,
Universitie, Hospital network, ...]
Could it be a profit organization? (bank, insurance company, ...)
Or only a "operator" fully registred.

What is your view on initiatives like e164.org and nrenum.net?
Do/Would you deliver calls to destinations pointed by these two trees?
