Hi Greg,
There is an ongoing project like this using freenum.org TLD. We use it to provide access to 0800 numbers in various countries. You may of course put up together any TLD for this, the problem is just getting enough interest and subsequently scale up your business to support delegation requests. There are various requirements you have to fulfill like high availability, disaster recovery etc... Then, when you try to become Tier1 you will certainly be on collision course with many. I would not like to be in that position, nevertheless you may give it a try, we can all learn from it.
Last but not least ENUM is not just about DNS hosting. To see what I mean, take a look at my presentation for NAPTR record manipulation from RIPE: http://www.ag-projects.com/NAPTR/NAPTRRecordManipulation.ppt
Adrian,
Thanks for your follow up. High availability and disaster recovery are par for the course. I own an ISP, we do that with all of our services.
I realize that ENUM is a big deal. I just want to use ENUM to lookup the SIP server to send a call request to. It seems that day is a long way off.
I don't want to be a tier1 provider, I just want to get this thing going. Why can't a group of people just work together to provide a combined ENUM service? it doesn't have to be a business, it just needs to be a common registration spot for reverse delegation.
I would provide hardware/software/bandwidth/hosting for such an endevor.

Greg, what do you mean precisely with:
bind installation that would forward requests to the right party.
It seems to me that while ENUM is great, and it does wonderful things, it doesn't help unless I can use it to direct a call to a SIP proxy. I've been waiting for a year now for .arpa (or someone) to do the root enum service. Do we really need to wait? Can't I put together a forwarding server that forwards your ENUM lookup to your server?
I envision building a forwarding server. Then anyone that has an ENUM server can 'register' thier authority with my forwarding server. When I get an enum lookup (for a e164 number) I forward it to the correct ENUM server. That would give us one ENUM server to query for anyone's e164 number, and it gives the authority on the number to the ITSP (or whoever).
I have been using ENUM internally for some time. The SER ENUM support is great, it works...I'd just like to be able to deliver a call to, for instance, fwd. Of course I can set up a prefix and say 'if the first 7 digits are 1010393' then send it to fwd.pulver.com. Something much more elegant would be to do a ENUM lookup at enum.neutralhost.com.
I would be willing to put a neutralhost.com together and forward ENUM requests to the appropriate ENUM DNS server is anyone is interested. I feel like I must be missing something?

I was excited about an enum movement a few months ago.
Would enum work if someone volunteered to forward requests? I think I can build a bind installation that would forward requests to the right party.
Is anyone doing something like that? I'd do it.
