Study "Options for the future of ETNS (European Telephony Numbering Space)".
What is the objective of the study?
In November 1992, a Council Resolution was adopted calling on Member States to start work within the framework of CEPT on the establishment of an ETNS, and inviting the Commission to facilitate its rapid introduction. Subsequent studies identified that there was potential demand for a numbering space to launch pan-European services. However, pursuant to advice of the ITU-T SG2, the ITU-TSB Director decided in spring 2008 to reclaim the ETNS code 3883 as of 31 December 2010. ETNS has difficulties to grow. One of the reasons is that it was conceived in the 90ies and that the concept is now outdated. Taking into account the proposed European Regulatory Authority's tasks in the field of numbering which include the administration and development of ETNS, it is important for the Commission to have a clear view on the possible options for the future ASAP.
