D.T.I Talks Phone & Internet Merger
Posted: 21st Aug, 2004 By: MarkJ
The Department of Trade and Industry has begun investigating plans designed to merge existing telephone numbers and Internet addresses (IP), allowing people to access websites via phone numbers etc.:
A consultation launched earlier this month asks interested parties to give their views on ENUM. The ENUM project uses an architecture based on the Domain Name System (DNS) to resolve telephone numbers to domain name addresses.
"ENUM is a system that links telephone numbers to Internet locations and identities such as email addresses, giving increased flexibility to electronic communications," said the Department of Trade and Industry as it kicked off the consultation.
If successfully implemented, ENUM will unify IP networks and PSTN telephony addressing, and should allow a number of Internet-based applications to be accessed via a telephone number.
