Regulatory Environment in Germany • The National Regulatory Agency (NRA) in Germany is Bundesnetzagentur • Public User ENUM is outside the scope of regulation in Germany. • The German regulator is not looking at Public Infrastructure ENUM at all. • Ongoing investigations on a Vo. IP Interconnection Regime (Successor of the PSTN Interconnection Regime) • Several working groups are dealing with this issue (AKNN, ATRT). • Vo. IP Interconnection (NGN) is still in progress. • Vo. IP Interconnection (Internet) is not being considered at present. • A decentralized procedure for LNP is intended to be modified slightly • Infrastructure ENUM (Private and/or Public) may play an important role for the Interconnection of PSTN/NGN, Mobile Networks and Internet in future. • The future role of the European Regulatory Agency is not clear yet. © DENIC e.
