ENUM issues should not be discussed in SPEERMINT,
just some questions

and _outside_?
ENUM is about numbers like [phone]
 
hello, we are talking E.164 numbers in ENUM, which is international numbers

Cingular?Verizon? ...

we are talking about a global solution here
You are a bit US centric here, 
there is also some 200 other nations ozt there.

I have no access to the US LNP database from e.g. Austria

So you want to consider US national databases only in speermint?

Enum? When I dial [phone], what is there to resolve _inside_ the
wireless network that owns this number apart from the location of the
user?


Now, in the scenario where an external call (for example, a cingular
customer calling a Verizon customer (which owns an original t-mobile
number). How that works today? If you say ENUM I would stand corrected
(and surprised), since LNP has been fully deployed since 2003.

When a user takes its number with them, I assumed this punches a whole
in the telephone prefix hierarchy and a specific entry somewhere is
needed.
