On the Table…On the Table…
1) How should the Enum industry act?
2) Should the U.S. Government endorse USareacodes.1.E164.ARPA.?

Problem #1Problem #1
Control Freaks or Anarchists?– Who controls Tier 1?– Is their a Balanced Approach?

COOPERATION or COMPETITION?– What do we need to cooperate on?– What are we competing on?
Problem #5Problem #5
Does anyone want the U.S. GovernmentA. To be burdened by Industry issues?

How can we build trust in ENUM?
