[Serusers] ENUM anyone?

[Adrian Georgescu]

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
