Will ENUM provide a true VoIP directory?

Source: voipcentral.org

Russell Shaw in his blog today discussed about ENUM, which is actually the acronym for Telephone Number Mapping. A few days back I was thinking what will be the solution in the future that will take care of the problem of finding a persons number when VoIP will be the most preferred mode of telephony. Given the astronomical numbers of VoIP operators and the problems with integrating E.164 phone numbers with IP addressing using the Domain Name System it is still some distance away in my opinion.

Anyway, talking about the system itself, it works by publishing a DNS zone that can be used by various Internet applications that includes SER, Gnome Meeting and Asterisk.

I shall write more on this soon. This is a subject we just cant miss.

Please read Russells post that discusses in-depth on this.
