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".
