DENIC's 3rd "ENUM day" held
by Carsten Schiefner 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

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.

Survey on ENUM Projects
by Kim Davies 29 Sep '04

29 Sep '04

Dear all, As discussed recently on the list, the chairs have commenced preparing a status page to identify and document the various ENUM projects being conducted in different countries. We would like feedback on the formulation of the questions. At present they are based heavily on those developed by Joakim Strålmark of the Swedish PTS in a recent survey. If there is additional information that would be useful, or if there is a better formulation for the questions, please provide your input. Most important we would like contributions of information on the various trials being conducted, so we can start populating the table with data. The page is available for the moment at this address: http://www.centr.org/kim/enum/index.html best regards, kim -- Kim Davies, Council of European National Top Level Domain Registries Avenue Louise 327, B-1050 Brussels; Tel. +32 2 627 5550

IDA Seeks Industry Feedback on Telecoms Policy Regarding Internet Protocol (IP) Telephony and Electronic Numbering
by James Seng 21 Sep '04

21 Sep '04

http://www.ida.gov.sg//idaweb/media/infopage.jsp?infopagecategory=&infopage… Singapore, 21 September 2004| For Immediate Release As part of its continuing efforts to engage the public in policy development to benefit the infocomm industry, the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) seeks views on the policy framework to facilitate the introduction of Internet Protocol (IP) Telephony and Electronic Numbering (ENUM) in Singapore. The Internet and other IP-based networks are increasingly used by consumers for voice communications (e.g. international voice calls) in combination with, or as an alternative to fixed-line telephony. IP Telephony referred to in IDA's proposed policy framework is a form of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)1 service that requires traditional local telephone numbers. It allows consumers to make and receive voice, data and video calls using the same telephone number, from any domestic or overseas location with available Internet access. IDA is also seeking public and industry views on ENUM. Through ENUM, consumers use a single electronic number in place of multiple contacts, such as telephone and fax numbers, URLs, and email addresses. ENUM is a protocol that translates a normal telephone number into a format that stores and retrieves Internet addressing information, which in turn, can be used to route communications over the Internet. With increased interest in the provision of IP Telephony services, IDA is seeking views on a suitable policy approach towards IP Telephony and ENUM. Such consultation is in line with IDA's efforts to help ensure that telecoms policies remain relevant, while continuing to sustain and encourage a competitive market environment to the benefit of businesses and consumers. All views and comments should be submitted in writing to IDA by 12 noon (Singapore time) on Friday, 22 October 2004. IDA will consider all submitted inputs before issuing its final policy decision. The public consultation paper can be downloaded from http://www.ida.gov.sg/ , under the sections "Policy & Regulation", "Consultation Papers".
