What ENUM is not….
Not about carrier selection
- (selection of carrier within a given service type)
Not about telco bypass
- makes it easier to find an alternative to circuit switched technology
Not about number portability
- we talk about service portability
Does not change the Numbering Plan
- does not change ITU-E164
- does not change telephony numbering or its administration in any way
ENUM respects the rights and prerogatives of nation-states
