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

Dear Carsten There is an Australian ENUM Discussion Group that meets to discuss and advise on the framework for the Australian ENUM trial; its web page is at http://internet.aca.gov.au/ACAINTER.65650:STANDARD:1078325456:pc=PC_2319. There is a mailing list for the group, but to date it has only dealt with administrative matters. The next meeting is scheduled for the 17th of May and is expected to be devoted to the launch of the Australian trial, the operation of the Tier 1 Registry, and rights of use of numbers that are registered in ENUM. Let me know if you'd like any further information on this. Regards...

2nd Consulation on VoIP by the Austrian Regulator
by Stastny Richard 26 Apr '05

26 Apr '05

FYI Richard http://voipandenum.blogspot.com/2005/04/2nd-consulation-on-voip-by-austrian… 2nd Consulation on VoIP by the Austrian Regulator >From the RTR web-site: The Austrian Regulatory Authority for Broadcasting and Telecommunications (RTR) is conducting a 6-week public consultation <http://www.rtr.at/web.nsf/englisch/Portfolio_Konsultationen_bisherige_bishe…> on the document "Guidelines for VoIP Service Providers <http://www.rtr.at/web.nsf/lookuid/83B3127191217CE3C1256FEF004C885C/$file/Vo…> " and invites all interested parties to submit positions and comments regarding the regulatory approach to VoIP services. RTR already held a public consultation on VoIP in June 2004 <http://www.rtr.at/web.nsf/deutsch/Portfolio_Stellungnahmen_nach+Datum_Stell…> with the results influencing RTR's comments to the European Commission consultation on VoIP, This second public consultation on VoIP gives opportunity to comment on RTR's modified position. Due to the international aspect of VoIP regulation, the consultation document is published in English. Comments are welcome both in English and German. All comments received will be published on RTR's website, as long as RTR is not explicitely advised not to do so. Please send your positions and comments until June 10, 2005 in electronic form (MS-Word, MS-Excel, PDF) via e-mail to konsultationen AT rtr.at The consulation defines two classes of VoIP services (Class A PATS+ECS and Class B unregulated) and deals mainly with numbering issues, interconnect requirements and access to emergency services. The proposed position is: If you are connecting to the PSTN in Austria you are Class A and therefore regulated. One major point here is that if you want to provide VoIP service with a geographic (local) number, you need a fixed termination point at this location. If you provide a nomadic service in addition, you need also an additional nomadic number below for display if you access emergency services. If you provide a nomadic (virtual) service only, you may use the number ranges 0720 and 0780 (ENUM) only. Since the outcome of this consulation is important also for non-native VoIP providers, I recommend that VoIP providers interested in providing VoIP services using Austrian numbering resources or to terminate calls via gateways in Austria to retrieve this paper and also to comments on their position.

ENUM Support for H323

All, FYI. Best, Carsten -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [E164-discuss] ENUM Support for H323 Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2005 15:27:07 +0800 From: Simon Horne <shorne(a)isvo.net> Reply-To: e164-discuss(a)lists.e164.org To: e164-discuss(a)lists.e164.org Hello I'm a senior developer on the OpenH323 project and am interested in extending support for ENUM within H323. We are very interesting in exploring opportunities with our software with GNUGK.org Gatekeeper and e164.org. I'll be submitting some patches to the GNUGK.org project to enhance NAT traversal and add ENUM support. We have also developed a commercial Win32 DCOM toolkit based on OpenH323 which supports 1. ENUM natively 2. UPnP NAT Traversal for Inbound calls (Outbound supported Natively (with matching patched H323 clients)). 3. H235 Incoming Caller Authentication & voice encryption. 4. H460.7 Digit Maps (for location dailing display ie +44 will display 'United Kingdom' etc) and also we are in final development of a Freeware IE Webpage plugin (for outbound calling with native NAT traversal support) http://www.isvo.net/v_meet.htm I am in the process of incorporating the ENUM h323: URI scheme ( rfc3762 ) with it. Can someone point me in the right direction about what's available on e164.org Thanks in advance Simon ******************************************************* Simon Home ISVO (Asia) Pte Ltd developer of the *Virteos H323COMtools *Win32 DCOM plugin based on the OpenH323 Stack http://www.isvo.net <http://www.isvo.net/>*******************************************************

However - to have the corresponding number assigned (which in turn requires to domain to be registered first) you need to have a contract with a licensed Austrian communication service provider (which is not limited to austrian companies!). Practically, i expect most registrars to be the CSP as well, so that you have a contract with just one party. The SP registers your domain, gets the number allocated, and assigns it to you. > - To what extend NP is implemented? NP is formally done by changing data in the ENUM registry. No re-routing is necessary in the PSTN, since every operator is allowed to terminate any traffic to this number range on a gateway of his choice. cheers Alex Mayrhofer enum.at _______________________________________________ enum mailing list enum(a)ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/enum
