US ENUM Trial Launches February 21
Friday February 3, 11:33 am ET
Companies Interested in Participating in the Trial Should Plan on
Attending This Meeting
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 3, 2006--The Country Code 1 ENUM LLC (LLC)
today announced the formation of a committee to coordinate testing
activities among participants in its upcoming US ENUM trial. The first
meeting of this committee, to be known as the LLC's Trial Participants
Advisory Committee (TPAC), will take place in Richardson, Texas, on
February 21, 2006. Companies who have an interest in participating in
the trial should plan on attending this meeting. Meeting details will be
posted on the LLC's web site (http://enumllc.com).
The US ENUM trial will be based on the ENUM Forum's "Framework Document
for a US/CC1 ENUM Trials Program," which can be found at
http://www.enumf.org/home. The U.S. trial is expected to be conducted
over a six-month period beginning in March.
Companies wishing to participate can fulfill one or more of the defined
roles for the trial: Tier 1B Registry, Tier 2 Nameserver Provider,
Registrar, Authorization Agency, Host Carrier, Application Service
Provider, and User Registrant. Companies choosing to participate are
responsible for their own costs and will be expected to sign a
Memorandum of Understanding with the CC1 ENUM LLC, which will be
available on the LLC's web site (http://enumllc.com). Several
telecommunications and Internet companies have already indicated an
interest in participating.
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 packets for delivery to a
variety of devices.
On December 1, 2005, the U.S. government requested the temporary
delegation of country code 1 to support an ENUM trial. That request was
also supported in letters from the Canadian and Jamaican governments.
Confirmation of the delegation is expected in mid-February, with the US
ENUM trial expected to start in early March. During the next year, other
NANP member countries may conduct national ENUM trials as well.
The TPAC will coordinate the various trial activities and report the
results of the trial to the LLC, which will publish the results and
report them to various governmental agencies that have been following
the industry's efforts toward ENUM implementation. The TPAC will be
chaired by a Project Executive to be contracted for and selected by the LLC.
Additional details and registration information for the meeting on
February 21 will be posted on the LLC's web site.

within the NANP that choose to participate. The North American

requirements.

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.
