[Dean Collins]

Simon/Tony,

Yes a number of people are using this, since it has been developed about
1 month ago 400+ asterisk users have registered.

There have been a number of posts on the asterisk list about the e164
service.

There will also be a client to divert calls from your asterisk to mobile
or other numbers released in about 1 weeks time.

Tony, as per you inference that e164 are up to something shady, you
should talk to one of the founders Duane, he currently has about 5 open
source projects, I've known him personally for about 3 years since he
started a wireless mesh network here in Sydney, he has in a very short
time frame given back to the asterisk community a number of initiatives,
he is beyond reproach.

Simon, you are right though, we need to get a 'tipping point' of users
listed.

Cheers,
Dean

So I just saw this VoIP-centric article at slashdot
(http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/05/22/1840220) which mentions
e164.org.  It's a "non-profit public DNS root designed to map phone
numbers
to Internet protocols."  Is anyone on this list actually using this?

They have asterisk config instructions:
http://www.e164.org/config.php

I wonder if someone can help me understand this.  Let's say I configure
my
asterisk box to use e164 and then I try to call a phone number in
Germany.
I'm in the U.S.A.  So if the number I'm calling in Germany is registered
in
e164's dns, would my call be routed directly via their voip provider?
Or
directly to their asterisk box?  And would it be free?

If that's the case, it sounds kind of cool, but probably won't be much
use
until lots of people sign up.

Any explanation appreciated.  Thanks.

P.S.- Yes, I did read their FAQ.
