Who will administer the national telephone number name servers?
There are many competent companies or organisations that can operate these servers. A number of companies have already come forward to express their interest in running these servers, initially free of charge and on an experimental basis, until such time as consensus can be reached on how this system is to ultimately organise. There are a number of regulatory constraints in various countries that might apply to the ENUM administrator, name service operators, and delegation policies below the national level. For example, where local telephony service competition and number portability are being deployed in a country, it is not unusual that a neutral third party is required to provide master database administration services, and a requirement for anti-slamming and non-reliance on competing carriers for routing or resolution functions.
