Dear colleagues,

first of all, on behalf of the ENUM WG Co-Chairs I wish you all a Happy
New 2012!

ENUM-wise, it didn't start too bad: we have already been able to see the
announcement of XConnect and DE-CIX wrt. an NGN/VoIP communications
exchange where one core component is ENUM:

http://www.xconnect.net/german-federation/

In case you havn't yet read about it, please find below what some news
portals have to say about it; the last two articles are in German.

Best regards,

Carsten Schiefner
on behalf of the ENUM WG Co-Chairs
