Werte Kollegen,

lange erwartet, ist nun gestern in den USA die ENUM LLC gegruendet
worden, was als Erreichen eines wesentlichen Meilensteins auf dem Weg
zur tatsaechlichen Umsetzung von ENUM fuer den E.164-CountryCode +1
gewerten werden kann.

Beim E.164-CountryCode +1 besteht die Schwierigkeit, dass sich hier im
Rahmen des NANP - North American Numbering Plan - 23 unabhaengige
Laender und Territorien zu solchen Fragen abstimmen muessen; anders als
z.B. beim E.164-CountryCode +49, der ausschliesslich der Bundesrepublik
zugewiesen ist.

Anbei der Presseerklaerung.

Mit besten Gruessen,

Carsten Schiefner

TOP TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND INTERNET COMPANIES FORM COUNTRY CODE 1 ENUM
LLC TO FOSTER NEW INTERNET TELECOM TECHNOLOGY New Organization to
Promote Development of Technology to Combine Internet with Traditional
Telephony to Offer Streamlined Communication


Washington DC - (October 28, 2004) - Today, several leading
telecommunications and Internet companies have announced the formation
of a new organization, the Country Code 1 ENUM Limited Liability Company
(CC1 ENUM LLC), to build the public infrastructure that will promote the
development of ENUM technology in a single, carrier-class manner within
the countries of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). The countries
of the NANP include the United States, Canada and the Caribbean nations.

ENUM is a technology that allows users to combine the resources of the
Internet with traditional telephony, uniting these two diverse worlds of
communications and enabling a whole new range of communication
applications. The ENUM system effectively enables individuals,
businesses and other organizations to maximize the use of both the
public Internet and the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) by
associating telephone numbers with Internet domain names. As a result,
phone numbers can be used to send traditional telephony services like
voice calls or faxes which can be converted to digital packets for
delivery to a variety of devices.

A common ENUM system becomes increasingly essential as applications like
voice over IP (VoIP) become more widely adopted. The ENUM system bridges
the technology gap between the public Internet and the Public Switched
Telephone Network so that VoIP users of different service providers can
communicate more simply with each other.

Through the launch of this new organization, the founding companies are
seeking to build a commercial implementation consistent with the
relevant open standards of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) upon which ENUM is
based. The new company will help to implement a single, public ENUM
system for those nations within the NANP that choose to participate. It
is intended that the North American implementation of ENUM will adhere
to national and industry privacy requirements. The LLC’s first task will
involve selection of a vendor to take the initial steps towards creation
of an infrastructure that would enable the countries within the NANP to
establish their own national ENUM implementations. The limited liability
company will also be responsible for selecting a vendor to develop the
national infrastructure for the United States.

Country Code 1 ENUM LLC will manage the public infrastructure that
translates traditional telephone numbers into Internet domain names,
combining the reach and capabilities of the Internet with the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) to enable new communications
capabilities. CC1 ENUM LLC members include AT&T, GoDaddy.com, MCI, SBC
Laboratories, Sprint, and Verizon.
