Yeah I've seen this document in archives not actually read, really good
news for our friends at Canada.

I doubt this could work out for now, because one of reasons we even have
progress it's because it doesn't require lot investment at government
side like FSB, who in need to listen calls. Currently this is done by
mirroring ISDN port to another ISDN switch at FSB side.

Moving to only ENUM IP only, will require changes on their side.

No decision made about this yet, it seems next step will be when we have
delegation. And this not happening until we got new law. This is will be
major rewrite [as they said]. Currently VoIP is forbidden if you don't
own physical line to client, so ENUM is illegal.
