regulator prohibiting current practice of use of +49 numbers for voip, update
by Chris Heinze 24 May '05

24 May '05

hi! we had that some time ago. now it's getting more concrete: http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/51877 (german only again, sorry) short summary: regtp (the german regulator) now prohibits (voip) providers in general to give phonenumbers to users that do not live in the area of the respective prefix or have their company located there. this is effective from october 15th. btw: the non-regional prefix under +49 is still not in sight. so - of course :) - i have to mention the 'proposal for non-regional upts available to the general public' again. everyone interested in possible solutions to many voip-specific problems with e.164 numbers should really read this (can be found in the archive of this mailinglist). kind regards, Chris Heinze

Fwd: ETSI Plugtests ENUM Call for Expert and extension of Task Force
by Stastny Richard 26 Oct '04

26 Oct '04

FYI -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Patrick René Guillemin [mailto:Patrick.Guillemin@etsi.org] Gesendet: Di 26.10.2004 12:03 An: Plugtests Cc: PLUGETSTS-ENUM(a)LIST.ETSI.ORG; enum(a)ietf.org; sip(a)ietf.org; TISPAN_WG4 Betreff: ETSI Plugtests ENUM Call for Expert and extension of Task Force Dear All, CALL FOR ONE ENUM INDEPENDENT EXPERT AND VOLUNTEERS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE TASK FORCE TO SUPPORT THE 1ST ENUM INTEROPERABILITY EVENT (Spring 2005) The ETSI Plugtests Interoperability service, hosted the first ENUM Workshop event in February 2004 to serve the whole global market in cooperation with the ETSI TC TISPAN committee. The ETSI Plugtests service is independent and has, over the last 4 years, gained a unique experience in organising 50 events for a broad range of domains. Further information on the service is available at www.etsi.org/plugtests. While being part of the ETSI structure, this service is self-financed and fully independent. Half of the organized events are related to non ETSI Standards (e.g. IPv6, SIP, Bluetooth, etc). The ETSI Plugtests service is now preparing a 1st ENUM interoperability event to be held spring 2005 with the objective of having a broad technical scope to address ENUM technologies. Preliminary ENUM tests could be conducted during the 1st NGN Plugtests from 29-Nov to 3-Dec: http://www.etsi.org/plugtests/NGN_VoIP.htm <http://www.etsi.org/plugtests/NGN_VoIP.htm> To serve all the global ENUM solutions and all involved companies in an open, independent and transparent process, ETSI is looking for further assistance and support in two directions: 1) CALL FOR AN INDEPENDENT EXPERT ETSI Plugtests Service is looking for appointing an independent expert mainly to assist in the definition of the ENUM interoperability event, its architecture, its test bed and on the test cases to be performed. This expert will be under contractual arrangement with ETSI and under the financial rules of the EU eEurope programme. He will coordinate the work under the supervision of both the ETSI TC TISPAN committee and an independent task force to be set-up for providing main input to the programme. The expert effort can be estimated in a range of 40 to 80 days. Should you like to be candidate for such expertise, please send your application and references to philippe.cousin(a)etsi.org (CC patrick.guillemin(a)etsi.org and plugtests(a)etsi.org) before 15 November 2004. 2) CALL FOR ADDITIONNAL VOLUNTEERS TO CONTRIBUTE TO A FIRST ENUM INTEROPERABILITY EVENT TASK FORCE ETSI Interoperability Service is looking for volunteers to extend the task force (EPTF, ENUM Plugtests Task Force) for providing inputs and guidance to the 1st Interoperability event in a more open, transparent and independent manner as possible . The main objective of this task force assisted by dedicated resources of an independent expert is to provide guidance of the architecture, the test beds, and the test cases. This 1st interoperability event should address all the interoperability concerns for the ENUM solutions. Should you like to be candidate to participate to this Task force, please send your application and references to Patrick.guillemin(a)etsi.org CC plugtests(a)etsi.org before 15 November 2004. Any expert is welcome, even non-ETSI members as long as the expert is committed to actively and constructively contribute to the work. It is expected that most of the work could be done by email and audio-conference but meeting(s) can also be convened when necessary. I am looking forward to getting a lot of applications and support Best regards Patrick GUILLEMIN, Coordinator of EPTF ETSI - Plugtests Technical Coordinator http://www.etsi.org/plugtests tel +33 (0)4 92 94 43 31 and Philippe COUSIN Interoperability Service Manager + 33 (0)4 92 94 43 06

ENUM Survey Compilation
by Kim Davies 24 Oct '04

24 Oct '04

Dear all, Last week the web page with the working group's ENUM survey was updated with all the responses received to date. You can see it here: http://www.centr.org/kim/enum/index.html It would be nice to have some more submissions and feedback! A number responded that they would undertake to answer it but never came back, so now would be an ideal opportunity. kim -- Kim Davies, Council of European National Top Level Domain Registries Avenue Louise 327, B-1050 Brussels; Tel. +32 2 627 5550

Check on NAPTR Order field value default
by Conroy, Lawrence (SMTP) 22 Oct '04

22 Oct '04

Hi Folks, Adrian picked up an inconsistency between the IETF and ETSI documents. These give two different default values for the Order field of NAPTRs. I propose to change the ETSI document (current proposed default = 10) to fit with the IETF document (current proposed default = 100). So, as a quick (like before the end of the weekend) poll, does anyone use a NAPTR order field value of 10 as opposed to 100? - the ones I've checked use 100, and only mine have order field = 10. all the best, Lawrence

New co-chair of the ENUM WG
by Patrik Fältström 21 Oct '04

21 Oct '04

This is, I think, the right amount of time after the RIPE Meeting in Manchester to bring up this question. At the meeting, we got a volunteer to become the 3rd co-chair of the ENUM wg at RIPE. The person is Niall O'Reilly. If you have any objections to add Niall, please let me and Kim know. The time to object is (I decide myself) 2 weeks from now, after which Kim and myself will make a decision based on the input on whether we will send a recommendation to the RIPE leadership to add Niall. Regards, Patrik

For what it's worth at this stage, I'd note that most of my comments weren't incorporated and I wouldn't have voted to approve the report in the form that was published. Apart from a number of errors, there is mention of a reference document and various processes and policies that the forum hasn't even seen, let alone reached consensus on. I've found the forum experience interesting and educational. I hope everyone else has too. I look forward to hearing how the trial goes.

Folks, Apologies for the confusion. Our Press Office had forgotten to activate the accompanying PA Report on the ComReg website. It's there now. A draft of the report had been circulated to the Forum by PA Consulting on Friday 24th September for comments by 30th September. This report was based on the one circulated and discussed last April and the ENUM trial to date. We understood that several comments were received and incorporated into the final document. ComReg had given a public commitment to publish the report by September '04, so we're running late! It also happens to coincide nicely with a paper we published on VoIP last week. Finally, if there are significant further learnings from the trial, the report will be updated in March '05. I hope this clarifies the situation.

Lawrence, you still manage to ignore my 2 points ;-) I was not going to debate if Torys do speak H323 or not. I am not going to debate if any VoIP protocol is "better" or "less nostalgic" than another (we may well debate if one protocol is more suited for a partical purpose than another). I happen to work for a company that make PBX products which support both H.323 and SIP. But I am polite enough not to assume that the bunch of customers we have using H.323 are somewhat odd or as out-dated as your p166. Anyway, I was trying to say that neither VoIP nor ENUM require a SIP-URI. And that Kapsch wasn't the first company reachable via enum. Think we have consumed enough bandwidth for that though... :-) Christoph -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Conroy, Lawrence (SMTP) [mailto:lwc@roke.co.uk] Gesendet: Freitag, 8.

I still have an old Pentium 166 in our lab that must be about the same era, so I DO understand the concept of using whatever old kit is hanging around. Re. 3761/3762 forbidding anything - yup. Strictly, it's RFC3762 that forbids this, as that slim document is what registers the h323 Enumservice. 3762 does not mention any sub-sub-type, so the :voice bit is invalid. Talk to Orit if you think it should be changed. AFAIK, Asterisk is one of the two widest used ENUM-enabled systems, the other being SER. Hence whilst the * enum.c does meet RFCs 3761, 3762, 3764 (and also supports the ETSI 102172 spec), as well as the earlier RFC2915 and RFC2916, (i.e. it's pretty flexible), it breaks with the syntax chosen by your ?hoster?. So it goes. all the best, Lawrence On 8 Oct 2004, at 13:25, Christoph Künkel wrote: > Lawrence, > > You still manage to ignore my 2 points ;-) > > Nevertheless, regarding the service spec.

Lawrence, add just any extension to the trunk base number, e.g. 0.9.0.0.3.7.1.3.0.7.9.4.e164.arpa. See the NAPTR. However, I think you missed my point(s). I was not going to debate wether I have a NAPTR or not. I was just trying to make the point that the original thread implied a tight coupling between ENUM and SIP, where there is none.

Hi Carsten, kind of "Freud'sche Fehlleistung", isnt it ;-) [ does someone volunteer to translate that therm to english? ] Yes, I am using a h323: URI. We do that for more than 6 months now and some of our customers too, using comercially available equipment. My point is that ENUM and SIP are only loosely related. And VoIP is not SIP, as well as H323 is not VoIP. ENUM is neither about H323 nor SIP nor PSTN. It is about associating e164 numbers to various kinds of services (internet related or not, doesnt matter). :-) Christoph -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Carsten Schiefner [mailto:enumvoipsip.cs@schiefner.de] > no mention of ENUM.

Henry and I have been preaching this at fine VoIP conferences world wide. The issuance of a SIP URI by a SIP service provider is a fundamental definition of a real SIP VoIP service. Now think of someone selling you a email service but does not offer you a email address. What I find totally amazing is that the VoIP service providers in the US and Europe do not understand the "sticky" nature of naming and addressing. How many millions of AOL users stay with the service just because they wont change email addresses. DT....FT, BT certainly must see the same behaivor fon their consumer ISP products etc. I heard that SIP service providers in Europe wouldn't consider confederating using private ENUM because they thought other providers would poach on each others customers. This is total madness. But what else is new. ATT seems to be clueless about this as well..we heard at the SIP summit in Chicago that Vonage was "considering" giving out URI's to its customers ..but no announcement as of yet. This is the opportunity for the biggest land grab by VoIP service providers ever by locking customers into SIP URI's but they seem to want to shoot themselves in the foot by not offering real internet SIP addressing. Mind boggling, madness, just plain stupid ..almost as crazy as well ... invading some middle east country without allies ... >So Henry says (and I agree), if you do not have a SIP URI, you do >not have VoIP. > >And especially on an ENUM related list you may add: if you do not have >a SIP URI, you cannot use ENUM as well. precisely ... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Richard Shockey, Senior Manager, Strategic Technology Initiatives NeuStar Inc. 46000 Center Oak Plaza - Sterling, VA 20166 sip:rshockey(at)iptel.org sip:57141@fwd.pulver.com ENUM +87810-13313-31331 PSTN Office +1 571.434.5651 PSTN Mobile: +1 703.593.2683, Fax: +1 815.333.1237 <mailto:richard(at)shockey.us> or <mailto:richard.shockey(at)neustar.biz> <http://www.neustar.biz> ; <http://www.enum.org> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Kapsch CarrierCom first company to be reached with ENUM Press Release <http://www.kapsch.net/CarrierCom/en/10002_ENU_HTMLExtranetCDEn.htm> Kapsch has deployed a SIP Server giving access to the whole company phone system (with a DIAL URI ;-) and placed all extensions into ENUM. If you want to give it a try, do an ENUM Lookup <http://193.80.173.26:8080/elookup/> The pilot number is +4350811, which gives you the switschboard (+4350811-0 also gives you the switchboard, as usual in Austria and Germany. DDI extensions are 4 digits, e.g. +4350811-3184 (try it, surprise ;-) The query gives back the SIP URI "sip:ext@kapsch.net, the e-mail address "mailto:firstname.lastname@kapsch.net the webpage of the company "http://www.kapsch.net" and the same number as tel URI (obviously for H323 clients) Congratulations!

VoIP and convergence hits the mainstream?
by Jim Reid 06 Oct '04

06 Oct '04

Apologies that this is a little off-topic for this list. Last week BBC Radio 4's "In Business" did a programme on VoIP and internet/telephony convergence. It had interviews with BT, Skype and Vonage. While it won't have said anything new to us, I thought the programme was a very good overview of this emerging technology. There was no mention of ENUM though. Anyone interested can listen to the programme from its website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/news/inbusiness/index.shtml Click on "Connections".

DENIC's 3rd "ENUM day" held

All, DENIC, the registry for 9.4.e164.arpa (Germany/+49), successfully completed its 3rd ENUM day on Tuesday this week - please refer to the press release below. Unfortunately it is availabe in German only so far - I'll post a link to the English translation as soon as it will become available. Regards, Carsten -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [DENICmitglieder] Pressemitteilung: ENUM gewinnt an Fahrt Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2004 18:41:12 +0200 From: Klaus Herzig/Denic <herzig(a)denic.de> Reply-To: Klaus Herzig/Denic <herzig(a)denic.de> To: presse(a)denic.de Pressemitteilung Frankfurt am Main, den 28. September 2004 ENUM gewinnt an Fahrt Dritter ENUM-Tag der DENIC eG mit dem Schwerpunkt Sicherheit Im Rahmen des laufenden ENUM-Testbetriebs veranstaltete die Registrierungsstelle DENIC am 28. September 2004 den dritten ENUM-Tag. ENUM ist eine neue Technologie, die eine Brücke zwischen Telekommunikation und Internet schlägt. Über ENUM und die ENUM-Dienste wird den Nutzern anhand der etablierten Rufnummern die gesamte Welt der Kommunikation eröffnet. 140 Experten, unter ihnen viele DENIC-Mitglieder, die bereits ENUM-Domains anbieten, Telekommunikationsdienstleister und Wissenschaftler, diskutierten über die Fortschritte, die ENUM in Deutschland in den letzten Monaten gemacht hat. Seit dem zweiten ENUM-Tag im März 2004 hat sich die Zahl der Provider, die Registrierungen von ENUM-Domains vornehmen, mehr als verdoppelt. Der Nutzer hat inzwischen die Auswahl unter 43 Anbietern. Noch stärker gestiegen ist mit 227 Prozent die Zahl der ENUM-Domains von 260 auf 850. Dies erscheint wenig angesichts der großen Zahl von Telefonanschlüssen. Unter jeder ENUM-Domains lassen sich aber ganze Telefonanlagen mit vielen hundert bis tausend Nebenstellen betreiben, so dass die Zahl der Anwender von ENUM deutlich höher liegt als die Zahl der Domains. Ein wichtiges Thema des ENUM-Tages war das Thema Sicherheit sowie Konzepte, wie das Problem von SPAM im Bereich der Internet-Telephonie (auch SPIT genannt) angegangen werden kann. In beiden Fällen spielen Aspekte der Authentifizierung (also der Frage, ob der angezeigte Absender einer Nachricht auch wirklich derjenige ist) und des Schutzes vor Datenausspähung und Datenveränderung eine Rolle. Hier wurden von den Referenten verschiedene Modelle für zukünftige Lösungsstrategien vorgestellt. So beschäftigte sich Professor Dr. Andreas Steffen von der Zürcher Hochschule Winterthur mit Sicherheitsfragen auf der technischen Protokollebene des ENUM-Standards. John-Erik Horn stellte seine Vorstellungen für ein rein internetgebundenes Telefonnetz für Deutschland vor, das flächendeckend ENUM beim Verbindungsaufbau einsetzt. ENUM wurde jedoch nicht nur aus technischer Sicht betrachtet. Dr. Volker Leib, Sozialwissenschaftler am Nexus-Institut in Berlin, stuft Internet, Voice-over-IP und ENUM als bedeutende Innovationen ein, die zu grundlegenden Strukturänderungen führen werden und zum Teil bereits geführt haben. So werde sich die technische Grundlage der Telefonie in den nächsten Jahren gewaltig verändern. Große Telekommunikationsunternehmen wie die Deutsche Telekom oder die British Telecom gingen davon aus, dass das bisherige Telefonnetz innerhalb der kommenden fünf bis zehn Jahre abgeschaltet und durch ein auf der Internet-Technologie basierendes IP-Netz ersetzt wird. Dennoch würden die derzeitigen Telefonnummern auch weiterhin in Gebrauch bleiben, ebenso wie die über zwei Milliarden Telefonanschlüsse, die es weltweit gibt. Leib plädiert daher für eine vorausschauende Innovationspolitik, die einen Rahmen für die zukünftige Entwicklung bereitstellt, der Rechts- und Planungssicherheit für die beteiligten Unternehmen gewährleistet. Daneben müsse ein leichter Markzutritt für Anbieter von Voice-over-IP-Diensten ermöglicht werden. Es sei immens wichtig, auf einen baldigen Beginn des ENUM-Wirkbetriebs hinzuarbeiten und den Übergang vom derzeitigen Testbetrieb auf den Wirkbetrieb so unkompliziert wie möglich zu gestalten, so Leib abschließend. Die Präsentationen und Vortragsunterlagen sind in Kürze auch unter http://www.denic.de/de/enum/veranstaltungen/denic_enum-tage/index.html zu finden. Hintergrund: ENUM ENUM leitet sich ab von telephone number mapping und steht für ein Protokoll, mit dem Ressourcen aus dem Telekommunikations- und dem Internetbereich verknüpft werden können. Es definiert eine Vorschrift, mit der eine Telefonnummer in eindeutiger Weise auf eine Domain abgebildet wird. Diese Domain kann dann zur Identifizierung unterschiedlicher Kommunikationsdienste herangezogen werden, zum Beispiel Fax, Mobilfunk, Voice Mail Systeme, E-Mail-Adressen, IP-Telefonie-Adressen, Webseiten, oder Anrufumleitungen. Die Idee, die hinter ENUM steckt, ist so einfach wie bestechend. Statt sich mit einer Vielzahl von Rufnummern und Adressen für Privat- und Bürotelefon, Handy, Fax, E-Mail oder Webseite auseinandersetzen zu müssen, die nur mit sehr viel Aufwand aktuell zu halten sind, genügt es in Zukunft, eine einzige Nummer in sein Adressverzeichnis einzutragen. Die Zuordnung zu den jeweils passenden Ausgabegeräten übernehmen die Einträge im ENUM-Nameserver. Durch die Verknüpfung von Telefonnummern und Internet-Ressourcen ergeben sich völlig neue Dienste. Ein Basisdienst ist das Auffinden eines telephoniefähigen Internet-Endgerätes von einem herkömmlichen Telefon aus. Optional liefert ENUM aber auch Hinweise auf zusätzliche Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten. Sollte ein telephoniefähiges Internet-Endgerät nicht erreichbar sein, kann aus der Liste weiterer Anwendungen eine entsprechende Alternative ausgewählt werden. Weitere Information zu ENUM und zum Testbetrieb bei der DENIC erhält man auf der DENIC-Webseite http://www.denic.de/de/enum/index.html.
