The functions of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) are
rapidly migrating to the Internet. This is generating new
requirements for many traditional elements of the PSTN, including
Telephone Numbers (TNs). TNs no longer serve simply as telephone
routing addresses: they are now identifiers that may be used by
Internet-based services for a variety of purposes including session
establishment, identity verification, and service enablement. This
problem statement examines how the existing tools for allocating and
managing telephone numbers do not align with the use cases of the
Internet environment and proposes a framework for Internet-based
services relying on TNs.
This document is a product of the Managing, Ordering, Distributing, Exposing, &
Registering telephone Numbers Working Group of the IETF.
