[enum-wg] ENUM Trial - Validation Processes of ENUM Registrants

Hi Miquel,

In real-life ENUM is merely an attribute of a SIP service, it did not really succeed as a stand-alone product or service. The entity that provides the SIP service and the associated phone numbers  (e.g. telco operator moving to IP) has already the tools in place for validating and porting E.164 numbers. ENUM just make them possible to be used on IP so is little additional work you have to do at this point, if at all.

ENUM is today embedded in many VoIP services infrastructures as a routing mechanism for the operators, but the end-users do not know about it so there is little validation necessary as the customer is already on that infrastructure and ENUM does not change the relation with the customer. 

There may be other uses cases for ENUM besides SIP for VoIP but they did not materialize yet at a large scale.
