Yes I've been told how much you love enum and the idea of alternate zones so I won't even bother getting into that argument with you.
As for good business sense, seems like a pretty good idea to me and all the companies I've been promoting asterisk to, to have enum services. They also seem to like the idea of not having to pay 2.9c or more to receive 1800 numbers (or in the case of Australia, you're lucky to get it under 16c) per minute. This is even more so when most companies already have large amounts of bandwidth and they can simply terminate the call over the net.
Last time I checked most people preferred normal looking phones then ones with 101 keyboards. I don't really want to be walking round with a laptop to make calls when something the size of my 6110 is more suitable, so SRV or not won't help in all situations.
As for social insanity, how can it be insane if people are volunteering the information rather then having it forced upon them?
