Hi Greg,
There is an ongoing project like this using
freenum.org TLD. We use it
to provide access to 0800 numbers in various countries. You may of
course put up together any TLD for this, the problem is just getting
enough interest and subsequently scale up your business to support
delegation requests. There are various requirements you have to fulfill
like high availability, disaster recovery etc... Then, when you try to
become Tier1 you will certainly be on collision course with many. I
would not like to be in that position, nevertheless you may give it a
try, we can all learn from it.
Last but not least ENUM is not just about DNS hosting. To see what I
mean, take a look at my presentation for NAPTR record manipulation from
RIPE:

Greg, what do you mean precisely with:

It seems to me that while ENUM is great, and it
does wonderful things, it doesn't help unless I can use
it to direct a call to a SIP proxy. I've been waiting for
a year now for .arpa (or someone) to do the root
enum service. Do we really need to wait? Can't I put
together a forwarding server that forwards your ENUM
lookup to your server?
I envision building a forwarding server. Then anyone that
has an ENUM server can 'register' thier authority with my
forwarding server. When I get an enum lookup (for a e164 number)
I forward it to the correct ENUM server. That would give us
one ENUM server to query for anyone's e164 number, and it
gives the authority on the number to the ITSP (or whoever).
I have been using ENUM internally for some time. The SER
ENUM support is great, it works...I'd just like to be able to
deliver a call to, for instance, fwd. Of course I can set up
a prefix and say 'if the first 7 digits are 1010393' then send
it to
fwd.pulver.com. Something much more elegant would be
to do a ENUM lookup at
enum.neutralhost.com.
I would be willing to put a
neutralhost.com together and forward
ENUM requests to the appropriate ENUM DNS server is anyone
is interested. I feel like I must be missing something?

Would enum work if someone volunteered to forward
requests? I think I can build a bind installation
that would forward requests to the right party.
Is
anyone doing something like that? I'd do it.
