Richard Stastny informs us about opening ENUM database to the numbers in the range +43 780. This is intended for convergent services that assign SIP or H323 URI. The database can be accessed from both Internet and PSTN. The system allows for the end-users to change the NAPTRs thus "porting" from one provider to another.
I am curious to know Skype’s reaction regarding the URI requirement. I suppose Skype can allocate a SIP URI and then map it to Skype address. But then this scheme allows for easy porting from one service provider to another; probably the anticipated Skype “lock-in” is not so assured.
