Singapore: Proposed Policy Framework for IP Telephony and Electronic Numbering

James Seng reports in his Blog
from The APEC TEL NGN Brainstorming session. During this session he as IDA representative also announced the Proposed Policy Framework for IP Telephony and Electronic Numbering in Singapore released today and open for public consultation.

As part of its continuing efforts to engage the public in policy development to benefit the infocomm industry, the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) seeks views on the policy framework to facilitate the introduction of Internet Protocol (IP) Telephony and Electronic Numbering (ENUM) in Singapore...more..

Some highlights:

1. IP Telephony will classified under SBO(Individual) license instead of the more heavy FBO license.

2. Licensee is entitled to apply numbers in a new number block +65 3xxx xxxx.

3. Optional interconnection with PSTN, no QoS, no emergency service and no universal obligation.

I have not studied the paper yet in detail, but knowing James, it will be an interesting reading ;-)
