An impetus for advancement in New Zealand's enum use is all well and good,
but I think everyone except a couple of people holding some fringe beliefs
would prefer it if it was managed and controlled by an organisation that
serves the public interest. The rejection of Jame's application wasn't just
inevitable, it was entirely proper.
Apart from the viewpoint that it's an attempt to become king of enum, you'd
think someone with an understanding of the industry would come with peer
recommendations; would have familiarised the operator community with their
proposal and gained their support; would have introduced themselves to and
liaised with the people who are to approve his application and have more
than just a loose plan to dominate enum in place. So in effect it's an
industry foreigner who doesn't speak the language trying to crown himself
king of enum.
Let the government run it. Then at least we can get beer money when they
sell it.

Top marks to James for pushing this issue along!
Those who are interested in the numbering debate can find a great deal of information on the ComCom site here:

Perhaps James hasn't followed 'protocol' but given how far NZ is behind major parts of the world in IP at present, perhaps it's long past time we got off our soap boxes and actually did some technical work to push things along!
