Hey, we could even build a system where DNS can be used to take any phone number and look up data about it, not just a name, but even a URI to redirect calls to for it, a source of presence info and more. What a great idea! Unfortunately, since phone numbers are believed to be owned by telcos and not by individuals, such a system would probably make the mistake of delegating control over the numbers to the telcos, who would feel no particular motive to help people bypass what they sell, and so I predict it will languish for a long time with no real deployment in the USA. :-) _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
