[Enum] Competitive ENUM services are a reality

["John D. Goodspeed" <john@goodspeed.com>]

I should think that the last thing the world wants is an Orwellian
"Authorized" monolithic structure owning or controlling Internet (enum)
telephone numbers. As a paying telephone number subscriber, I effectively
own my telephone number, therefore I shall choose to remain in control over
how and when it is made available to the general public via the Internet.

Only the best of competing private Internet telephone number (ENUM)
publication services will ultimately prevail. Only private publication
services can offer me, the consumer, ultimate control over my Internet
telephone number. Innovative private sector services will be the first to
market. From a practical point of view the consumer will decide what works
and the consumer will decide based upon enum features and/or advertising
mind share.

The consumer is king. The monopoly is dead. From now on think "open systems"
/ "open numbers".

Sincerely,

John D. Goodspeed
