CC1 ENUM LLC Partners with Telcordia to Enable Cost-effective, Reliable IP Interconnection for Communication Service Providers, Mobile Content Providers
________________________________________________
The CC1 ENUM LLC was created in August 2004 to address implementation issues surrounding ENUM. Based on work completed by the ENUM Forum, as well as ongoing work at the IETF and ITU-T, the LLC has initiated several work projects.
End-user ENUM: The LLC has created technical specifications that would allow the implementation of ENUM Tier 1A Registry services for countries that participate in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) and the implementation of ENUM Tier 1B Registry services for the United States. In addition the LLC has drafted separate Request for Proposals (RFPs) that incorporate those technical specifications. Before issuing these RFPs, the LLC initiated a trial of End-user ENUM to ensure that there would be no outstanding technical issues in any future commercial offering in the United States. Following the trial the LLC consulted with US government and other stakeholders. The LLC awaits contributions to the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to resolve issues identified during the trial and other evidence that parties are willing to devote resources to move End-user ENUM forward. Hence, there is no specific timeline for any future activities in this space.
Toll-free ENUM: The LLC started looking at how toll free numbers might fit into an ENUM implementation. At present progress awaits further contribution to the TAC.
Provider ENUM: The LLC adapted the End-user ENUM specifications to allow the implementation of a Provider ENUM Tier 0/1 Registry service to support "service providers of record." On August 23, 2010, the Country Code 1 ENUM LLC and Telcordia formally executed the "PROVIDER AGREEMENT FOR ENUM TIER 0/1 REGISTRY." This agreement authorizes Telcordia to build and operate, on behalf of the CC1 ENUM LLC, a Provider ENUM Registry service based on the technology in IETF RFC 3761. You may read the full announcement here. Additional information that describes the proposed LLC implementation is available.
