Won't be useful for peering unless everyone is running asterisk, most companies tend to run other devices for better stability/timing...

Actually not, because you are only querying the servers nearest yourself

and when they don't have the number?

in the peering ring, also the numbers are cached for a while, so once
you made the lookup, the next one won't go that far. (That's how i
understood the priciple, correct me, if i'm wrong).

say there is a billion calls an hour and 99% of the calls aren't duplicate numbers and aren't routable over the Internet, a lot of traffic searching all servers for a single response *shrug*...

Sorry, but geographically or not, people never really think about it,
when they call other people.

I meant more country codes then inter/intra-state calls... If people have a FWD number which are issued sequentially you have no hope in telling where they are, even if you are time zone aware...

Ok, once you start putting the international code in front of the
phonenumber, because you dial outside your country, it makes a bit more
difference, but not really. Because most people can't even imagine the
difference, because they look outside and see, it's light.

My parents were perfect examples of this, I live in Australia and spent a couple of weeks in the US earlier in the year, they almost said the exact same thing to me on the phone when the local time in the US was 5am... But this is an exception, most people are used to "local" numbers and being able to call a local looking number they won't expect it to be 4am in another country... (aka IPkall.com numbers)

I do agree, that things should be kept as simple as possible. And
numbers are a universal language. I can't read every language, but i can
read numbers, at least in nearly every language.

I didn't consider this, but you are right about it being a universal language.
