thanks for this - I expect to have RegTP's press release available in 
English any time soon.

Well, the presse release also says that any numbers issued until the 
15th will be safe as in: they can be used until August 05 and will not 
be revoked. In August 05, however, the introduction of 032 as the range 
for (also) VoIP purposes has - with some greater certainty - already 
been seen then.

Last, but not least: this targets all sorts of providers dealing with 
E.164 numbers, not only SIP gateway providers for example.

Cheers,
