Analyzing ENUM Service and Administration from the Bottom Up

Title: Analyzing ENUM Service and Administration from the Bottom Up

Research Question: How can ENUM services and administration be effectively managed and implemented to maximize market opportunities and user benefits?

Methodology: The researchers used an empirical research approach to analyze the issues related to ENUM services and administration. They identified potential ENUM services and estimated the size of the associated service market opportunities, with a focus on IP telephony. They also analyzed possible administrative models and relationship scenarios among different ENUM players, such as Registry(ies), Registrars, Telephone Service Providers, ENUM Application Service Providers, etc. The researchers generalized recently proposed IETF ENUM administrative models to represent various ENUM-based services and administration scenarios. They assessed the effects of different administrative model architectures on market opportunities and motivations.

Results: The researchers found that ENUM services have the potential to create significant market opportunities for IP telephony. They identified potential key ENUM services and estimated the size of the market for each service. They also analyzed possible administrative models and relationship scenarios among different ENUM players and assessed the effects of different administrative model architectures on market opportunities and motivations.

Implications: The results of the study suggest that effective management and implementation of ENUM services and administration are crucial for maximizing market opportunities and user benefits. The study highlights the importance of understanding the potential market opportunities for different ENUM services and the role of various ENUM players in realizing these opportunities. The findings also emphasize the need for flexible and adaptable administrative models to cater to the evolving needs of the market.

In conclusion, the researchers propose that a bottom-up approach to analyzing ENUM services and administration can provide valuable insights into the effective management and implementation of these services. The study's findings can help policy makers, service providers, and other stakeholders to develop strategies for maximizing the benefits of ENUM services in the context of IP telephony.
