 - ENUM is a standard adopted by
the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) that uses the domain name system
(DNS) to map telephone numbers to Web addresses or uniform resource locators
(URL). The goal of the ENUM standard is to provide a single number to replace
the multiple numbers and addresses for an individual's home phone, business
phone, fax, cell phone, and e-mail.
The ENUM standard is a joint
effort of Telcordia and Verisign. Every toll-free call in the United States
depends on Telecordia software. Verisign is the leader in translating over 24
million .com, .NET, and .org domain names on the Internet. Verisign is also a
leader in Internet security.
