Dear Philippe,

in a sense, the whole DNS as it stands now is outside the golden tree... .com, .net, .at and all...

You will surely agree that testing software in isolated environments is a good thing. Crash test dummies save our lives in a similar way.

So, e164.at is the crash test dummy for the SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS. It is an isolated environent, because nobody except a software developer will refer to it. It is not intended to be used for OPERATIONAL purposes.

Once the software (clients, switches, gateways, proxies, whatever) works, operators will configure them to use the golden tree because they want the stuff to WORK - as you rightly observe there is no interoperability between e164.at and e164.arpa, therefore no working service and hence no money to be made.

Hi Richard,

I think we're all aware that initiatives outside the so-called golden
tree can't be prevented but I didn't understand Marco's point this way.
I have indeed the same difficulty in understanding how we can on one
hand promote "interoperability of European ENUM trials" and on the other
set up something that can jeopardise consistency of Enum data in these
trials.

Could you please clarify?

Best,

Hi Bill and Marco,

this is just a test domain for client designers and developers, kind of
a playground. Since
we have a lot of client developers out of Austria (e.g. UK and US), and
since they cannot get
an 3.4.e164.arpa entry because they do not have a phone number in
Austria, and since they also cannot get an entry in their own country,
but want on the other hand to modify their NAPTR records on their own
for testing purposes, we have set up this domain.

This domain will NEVER go into commerical service and is also NOT
intended as competition
to e164.arpa (you do not have to explain this to me), and may and will
be shut down at any time.

Finally we may set up in .at what we want, this is a national issue
(BTW, did you complain about e164.com from netnumber?). So you may use
it or leave it, at your discretion ;-)

regards
Richard
