Does anyone know the outcome of the ENUM trial in NZ (by InternetNZ), or is it still going?
The full blown ENUM trial hasn't occured yet. Having an ENUM trial on its own isn't really of huge benefit, other countries have already successfully proven that ENUM works[0]. Several of those countries have now implemented ENUM and you can register e.164 numbers in them today. What InternetNZ was more interested in is some of the related technologies and seeing how they could work. In particular Universal Communucations Identifiers (UCIs) and Personal User Agents (PUAs). In 2005 a PUA prototype was written to see how it would operate. The prototype certainly proved that the UCI/PUA technology works[1]. The InternetNZ ENUM task force page http://www.internetnz.net.nz/proceedings/tf/enum/ has more information on this topic and has some reports talking about the UCI/PUA technology on it. The PUA prototype is also available for download from that page.
I've researched it a bit, but it seems the trial has ended (or maybe I just haven't searched hard enough ;)).
There has been no trial. :( You can try using ENUM today though by going to http://www.e164.org. Cheers!
