But - at least here in Austria - it is definitely *no* assumption that my number with some extra digits can not be issued to someone else. The number +43-1-3207978 is my telephone number. I "own" it as long as I pay for it. And with extra digits behind it I can do whatever I like. I can create any extension - physical or virtual. I can attach a phone to extension 12, attach a virtual fax server for extension 12 to extension 99912 or could fire up my toaster if I call extension 911. I can invent any numbering scheme for my company. That's a fact! Again - At least here in Austria !! (can't speak for other countries) And why would nic.at (the "owner" of our .at TLD) offer the possibility to register a "e164 domain specific Nameserver" to answer subdomain-requests for your number if it would violate ENUM standards? I don't think that they're not knowing what they do.... It *is* the same as with "normal domains". If you rent myhome.org you can create any subdomain like razor.bathroom.myhome.org ;-) And 7.6.5.4.3.2.1.3.4.e164.arpa is "my" domain (also literally! What does the word "domain" mean?), and anything below that in the domain tree is under my responsibility. N.
