Hi Henry, there are two aspects to the story:
* Do you believe there is a problem for security when interworking between the PSTN and SIP? (e.g., in the way how SIP Identity deals with E.164 numbers) * If yes, do you think that someone should be investigating what todo about it? Don't get hung-up in the details of a specific strawman proposal that, I believe, shows quite well some of the challenges around the aspect of E.164 number ownership.
