Hi folks, Richard Hill pointed recently to a very interesting paper on Numbering: http://www.satradehub.org/Data/Reports/Global%20numbering%20issues%20review.... The Title is "Numbering Trends: A Gobal Overview" by Claire Milne for the Regional Center for Southern Africa. The document analyses many of the current issues on numbering, what the issues and pit-falls are in setting-up or modifying a numbering plan and in doing so, it explains very well the terminology and also the background of existing numbering structures in different countries. Although VoIP and ENUM issues are excluded, it may serve as excellent introductory reading in numbering, especially for net-heads currently trying to set up their own numbering plans on the Internet ;-) regards Richard -----Original Message----- From: richard.hill@itu.int [mailto:richard.hill@itu.int] Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2004 5:24 PM To: tsg2q1@ties.itu.int Subject: Possible information document The paper: http://www.satradehub.org/Data/Reports/Global%20numbering%20issues%20review. pdf by Claire Milne seems very informative to me. Unless there are objections, I propose to ask Claire if she would agree that I post it on the SG2 Information Documents site, at: http://www.itu.int/itudoc/itu-t/com2/infodocs/index.html Thanks and best, Richard ----------------------------------------- Richard Hill Counsellor, ITU-T SG2 International Telecommunication Union Place des Nations CH-1211 Geneva 20 Switzerland tel: +41 22 730 5887 FAX: +41 22 730 5853 Email: richard.hill@itu.int Study Group 2 email: tsbsg2@itu.int
