Abstract

Numbering and addressing are key features of telecommunications: without them, the Global Information Society cannot exist. As the demand for new, and more innovative, services grows and the world moves towards deregulation and competition, so the pressure on numbering space increases. This article looks at basic numbering concepts and the role played by numbering in information and telecommunication policy.
