ENUM (electronic numbering) is a (proposed) vast new Internet-based infrastructure which seems destined ultimately to emerge as the most important new Internet platform since the Web (Rutkowski, A. M. (2000), The Bottom Line - ENUM: The Internet's Glueball Infrastructure, Communications Week International, p.1). See the Australian Communications Authority's ENUM proposal and presentation to the Asia-Pacific Telecommunity Standardization Program Forum (October 2001): - Proposal <http://www.aca.gov.au/committee/nsg2/astap.htm> - Presentation <http://www.aca.gov.au/committee/nsg2/presentation.ppt> Looks as though ENUM structure is emerging as a DNS TLD (.arpa) - a single root model favoured by ITU and IETF (see Figure 3 & 4 in Proposal) - with country registries and registrars (Figure 5).
