In addition, there are large (capital-L "LARGE") providers looking at 
+878-10 numbering currently for their customer bases.  There was a 
meeting last week in Pasadena which addressed some of the critical 
concerns over +878-10, and while the general meeting involved a lot 
of IP and TDM "mentality disconnects", I still remain hopeful that 
this will come to a good conclusion soon.

I'd like to (privately, if required) hear from any providers looking 
for +878-10 numbering space that weren't represented at that meeting; 
more interest and traction from ENUM-savvy people is a Good Thing, 
and could assist in breaking some political issues loose more rapidly 
than expected.

(Note: it is possible to call me on +878-10-2843336600 if your PBX 
speaks ENUM.)
