The Collision of Telephony and DNS Policy

Title: The Collision of Telephony and DNS Policy

Main Research Question: How can the collision of telephony and DNS policy be addressed to ensure a smooth transition towards a unified database system?

Methodology: The study utilized a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods. Qualitative methods included interviews, surveys, and focus groups with industry experts, telecommunication professionals, and policy makers. Quantitative methods involved data analysis from various sources such as government reports, market research, and historical trends in the telecommunications industry. The research team also conducted a literature review to understand the existing knowledge and gaps in the field.

Results: The research found that the main issues arising from the collision of telephony and DNS policy are related to numbering assignment, slamming and cramming, number portability, non-E164 numbers (like 911, 711, and 411), and carrier selection. The study also highlighted the need for international administration and DNS conflict resolution mechanisms to prevent hijacking, cybersquatting, and DOS attacks.

Implications: The results suggest that a unified database system, such as E164.arpa, could potentially resolve many of the issues related to telephony and DNS policy. However, the study also emphasizes the importance of technological and commercial viability, as well as the need for effective government regulation and industry cooperation. Furthermore, the research underscores the significance of addressing numbering assignment, number shortage, and new area codes to ensure a smooth transition towards a unified database system.

In conclusion, the collision of telephony and DNS policy presents a complex challenge that requires careful consideration of various factors. By addressing the main issues and implementing effective solutions, it is possible to create a seamless transition towards a unified database system that meets the needs of both telephony and DNS policy.
