Vijay, just a thought re the non-uniqueness of today’s ISA identifiers – since telephone numbers are unique around the world as long as the proper country code is used, wouldn’t a telephone number offer the necessary uniqueness to identify ISA sender/receiver Just a thought.

The EDI Saga... Todd Wrote “Till now the other VANs have been quietly benefiting from GXS’s actions. The interconnects they posses to GXS have been huge barrier to entry to new competition since 2001...all of which have come in as Service Providers dependent on the VANs for interconnects.” I truly believe that time has come to democratise the VAN business and let new entrants in. We have a good model in how the internet has figured out how to work with multiple domain and hosting providers – they don’t have any of the interconnect rubbish we have in the VAN world – you can access any website anywhere in the world via a domain name which could be the same as an ISA ID in the VAN business – I know the ISA ID’s are not unique now but this might be a small price to pay for progress.
