No, i didn't say that. I said that this would be a way to implement it. 
They would have to add such equipment to their network.

The assignment is done be the regulator via communication service 
providers.

The 780 range is an exception from the usual ENUM procedure: For 780, 
you register the _domain_ first, and if you successfully aquire the 
domain, your CSP qualifies for the corresponding number assignment.

Sure. But that is up to the service providers, which "package" the ENUM 
delegation together with eg. SIP service, fax box, voicemail, IM gatewaying.

We're investigating usage scenarios including SMS/text/IM, Fax, 
Video-SIP/UMTS and presence (that's us, the registry guys. I can't speak 
for the CSP community of course, i'm hoping they work on other topics, too).
