One thing has always been clear. RegTel as a limited organisation has been regulating with out a remit since the 2003 Electronic Communications Framework. If you look at the various directive the NRA - ComReg has full control over the natural resource which is number (it is infinite). I have made this point in the various corridors around the city including in the NAP - Numbering Allocation Panel, under ComReg's framework division. The challenge for regulators is the content - not the numbers, so it has suited NRAs e.g., Ofcom and ComReg to defer to ISCTIS and RegTel, but do they have the competence? One might suggest yes for content but no for numbering (where the money is racked up and in, be it sms or PRS - Premium Rate Service). Reminds me, I have a Net Neut paper for you. Hope the UK is treating you well! Ronan Daithi, greetings.
