[Asterisk-Users] The internet needs a dialing code..

[WipeOut]

It seems to me that ITSP's like to use a US dialing code eg 1-xxx

Wouldn't it be cool to have an Internet dialing code??

I don't know what the structures are or how the allocations work but it 
would be so cool to know that 1-xxx was USA , 44-xxx was UK and yy-xxx 
was an internet phone.. That way the whole internet phone space could be 
consolidated into a single dialing structure and as VoIP takes over the 
world there will be a single dialing standard for the whole world..

The trick would be the allocation of the xxx part because when there are 
10 000 ITSP's one day the 5 digit number will be a pain in the butt.. 
the system would also have to be fair with everyone getting a 4 digit 
number so you won't get people fighting over the single digits.. Maybe 
using longitude and latitude of the ITSP would be the easiest or some 
other planetary grid reference system..

Anyway it was just a thought I had..

Later..
