I don't suppose any of these proposals were relaxed in this review ? The proposed changes to 0870 outpayments are going to really hurt a lot of UK companies who rely on this revenue (e.g. to give cheaper international access to telecoms customers), or as end users have built up customer loyalty and goodwill using 0870 numbers for their intended purpose (should their provider find it can nolonger route 0870 in a viable way). Has there been a counter argument put forward by the industry ?
The 0870 consultation was prior to this announcement - lots of responses were received. The numbering review referred to was published on 27th July, and the consultation period ended a few days ago (14th Sept) http://www.ofcom.org.uk/consult/condocs/numberingreview/statement/ Peter -- Peter Bowyer Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
