  • Chapter 12 the Design and Management of Numbering Systems
    Chapter 12 The Design and Management of Numbering Systems Claire Milne 1.0 Why is Numbering Suddenly So Interesting? Whereas the radio spectrum has long been recognised as an important function for central management, numbering has only recently come to the fore as a scarce resource meriting public attention. Why is this? Two main sets of reasons can be distinguished: those associated with industry growth, and those associated with the rights of people in and around the industry. Most countries’ numbering schemes were designed decades ago, when the growth in basic services and proliferation of new services that we are now experiencing could not have been foreseen. It is not surprising that many countries are now simply running out of numbers. This tends to happen at two levels: local and national. At the local level, particular areas may not have enough numbers to cater for basic telephony demand. And at the national level, new services such as mobile, and freephone need distinctive codes which may not be available. An inadequate numbering plan can hamper service growth and stifle innovation. At the same time, new network operators are arriving on the scene and demanding equal treatment with the incumbent in numbering as in other matters. And newly aware groups of customers and service providers are pressing for rights. The old style of numbering scheme design never envisaged such demands. Coincident with these new demands on numbering schemes, we now have new freedom in their design. The design of “old” numbering schemes was largely dictated by the step-by-step switching systems that numbers had to operate.

New technology provides new freedom in the design of numbering plans. Cost-benefit considerations show that this freedom should be used to make plans as user-friendly as possible.

  • General Distribution OCDE/GD(95)117
    General Distribution OCDE/GD(95)117 COMMITTEE FOR INFORMATION, COMPUTER AND COMMUNICATIONS POLICY THE ECONOMIC AND REGULATORY ASPECTS OF TELECOMMUNICATION NUMBERING ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Paris 1995 024263 Document complet disponible sur OLIS dans son format d'origine Complete document available on OLIS in its original format SUMMARY Over the last few years numbering arrangements for telecommunication services have become a key issue for discussion among policy-makers, regulators and telecommunication operators in a number of countries. Historically, the allocation of numbers has been seen primarily as a technical issue. Engineers at the Public Telecommunication Operators (PTOs) have had complete control over number allocation functions. In many countries, PTOs themselves have been designated as the legal entities authorised to control and manage national numbering plans and to make sure that they comply with national and international rules. Indeed, they themselves have been setting the national rules, if any, regarding number allocation. With the advent of liberalisation, however, and the rise of competition in service provision, the issue of numbering acquired important economic, political and commercial dimensions. A major concern expressed by competitive service providers in countries where competition is being introduced, is that the continuing control of national numbering schemes by incumbent operators may increase barriers to entry to new entrants in a market and thus hinder competition. Current discussions at the national level focus on what numbering arrangements would best facilitate access of competitors to numbering resources in order for an effective competition to flourish. Moreover, the availability of technology has opened the way to new number-demanding applications such as Freephone and premium-rate services.

  • National Numbering Plan
    National Numbering Plan Issue 1.1 – October 2017 Info-communications Media Development Authority 10 Pasir Panjang Road #10-01 Mapletree Business City Singapore 117438 Website:www.imda.gov.sg FOREWORD The advancement in both the fixed and wireless communication technology have brought about an entire suite of new services and applications that enable end users to be contactable via various means in almost anywhere and at anytime. To achieve the above, an often-overlooked resource, the number resource, is used to uniquely identify and differentiate the end users. In view of the increasing demand and sophistication of such services and applications, IMDA recognizes the need to inform and update the industry of existing number resource assignment policies and procedures. Through this manual, IMDA aims to facilitate the application process and helps to foster the understanding of applicants on the approach and policy adopted by IMDA. This manual, consisting of twelve chapters, describes the national numbering scheme and provides information on the number management activities including allocation policies and application procedures. Aileen Chia Director General Telecom & Post Info-communications Media Development Authority © 2017 IMDA Singapore All Rights Reserved I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The National Numbering Plan provides a set of rules and guidelines for the use and assignment of numbers to telecommunication services delivered over the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), the Radio Network and the Internet or other Internet Protocol (IP) based networks. The Plan also describes the assignment of numbers to international services, trunk service, emergency services, and special services such as voice mail and Intelligent Network (IN) services. Under the plan, numbers are categorised in various services according to the first digit.
