The thing is, a lot of people use thing like IAXTEL because they can't 
open any holes in their NAT.  This means the only way they can receive 
calls from the outside is to register with an external server (and hold 
the NAT hole open).  ENUM isn't going to help you if you can't receive 
VOIP calls directly.
