RJ Auburn - One Step Beyond

Tom Keating posted a entry today on ENUM that is a good overview of where deployments are in the US. I agree with him 100% that ENUM is going to be the direction that everyone moves to over the next few years as the PSTN evolves from it’s legacy form to the next generation version that is a mix of both circuit switching and VoIP. It’s exciting to see everyone start to converge on it as the solution.

Companies are currently using private ENUM trees for deployment (We have been using it here at Voxeo since 2000 for our hosted network) and I think they will stick around for some time even when the public ENUM tree’s start getting some traction in the US.

I would definitely recommend giving the posting a read.
