Numbering Plan Initiative

• Completed Proof of Concept
• Built Morocco POC DB
• Created pre-production i3forum NP Updates Community SharePoint platform

• i3forum is exploring how it could build and operate, on behalf of the Industry, a comprehensive and operationally relevant Numbering Plan Database – “by the Industry, for the Industry”
• All International Carriers – and many other stakeholders – depend on accurate, up-to-date information on Numbering Plans for a variety of mission critical activities related to Voice and other services
• As there is no single reference database available to everyone, most Carriers spend significant resources maintaining their own database as well as they can, and of course it is never perfect
• The thinking behind the i3forum initiative is that pooling resources and expertise at the Industry level could provide every participating Carrier with better data at a lower cost, driving overall efficiency gains. It would also enable better standardization and synchronization across the Industry, further increasing the benefits
