Re: [enum-wg] Kapsch CarrierCom first company to be reached with ENUM

Indeed, what the majority of VoIP providers  do not seem to realize 
today is that the cost of building the walled garden is exceeding the 
usefulness of the service provided. I hope the  version 1 of today's 
VoIP service providers will be replaced by a more advanced version 2 
who will generate more revenues and attract more customers by doing 
exactly the opposite.

My ENUM and SIP addresses must be public and reachable from the 
Internet, should I stay in a walled carden I will behave like my 
neighbour's unfortunate cat, I will look for better food and 
entertainment at the neighbours.

Regards,
Adrian

I think the term has been brought up by Henry Sinnreich. considering
the currently many providers provide VoIP services in a walled garden
(.e.g. 3GPP, TISPAN NGN, even Skype), but they do not provide you
with a public SIP URI, so you cannot be reached (dialed) on the Internet.

So Henry says (and I agree), if you do not have a SIP URI, you do
not have VoIP.

And especially on an ENUM related list you may add: if you do not have
a SIP URI, you cannot use ENUM as well.

But WTH is a "public (DIAL) SIP URI"? Just to continue to be on the same
