That is a profound understatement. If you look at Skype alone now with 
2Billion + minutes served that is approaching a leak of nearly 1M $ per day 
and accelerating.

Which is why service providers have never been keen on the deployment of 
e164.arpa.

I'm increasingly confident we can see progress in +1 in 2005. The LLC is 
forming. The Canadians have very active discussions going on and showing 
some real leadership .  CIRA ( aka .CA) is offering to host trials in 
1.e164.arpa. The regulatory environment could not be better with the FCC 
and DoC.

SP are beginning to realize that giving customers SIP URI's is a good thing 
and we now have a variety of soft phone products that support them.

This DUNDi stuff is modestly interesting .. IMHO it really has some uses in 
private enterprise dial plan / URI management for IP PBX's but beyond that 
I dont see it..
