Yes I've been told how much you love enum and the idea of alternate 
zones so I won't even bother getting into that argument with you.

As for good business sense, seems like a pretty good idea to me and all 
the companies I've been promoting asterisk to, to have enum services. 
They also seem to like the idea of not having to pay 2.9c or more to 
receive 1800 numbers (or in the case of Australia, you're lucky to get 
it under 16c) per minute. This is even more so when most companies 
already have large amounts of bandwidth and they can simply terminate 
the call over the net.

Last time I checked most people preferred normal looking phones then 
ones with 101 keyboards. I don't really want to be walking round with a 
laptop to make calls when something the size of my 6110 is more 
suitable, so SRV or not won't help in all situations.

As for social insanity, how can it be insane if people are volunteering 
the information rather then having it forced upon them?
