I still don't get what would this be useful for?? And ok, this is a nice compilation of data, but it should be maintained since numbering plans in the world change every Wednesday and Thursday. Who is going to maintain it and how will it be useful when numbering plans change? What about countries that have number portability and you can have land line numbers ported to mobile operators and vice versa? The complexity is immense ...
I just don't get it...
