The Australian Communications Authority will soon be starting the trial of electronic number mapping (ENUM), which will allow consumers to use one telephone number for a range of telephony services, e-mail and instant messaging.
The Australian Communications Authority has convened a working group to study the privacy and security implications of mapping telephone numbers to Internet Protocol numbers ahead of a trial next year.
The government will "carefully consider" the impact of new and emerging technologies on Australia's privacy legislation.
One of the participants in a discussion group to investigate the feasibility of mapping the telephone numbering system to the DNS has expressed concerns the process is being 'hijacked' by the large carriers.
The Australian Academic & Research Network (AARNet) on Wednesday kicked off trials of ENUM, a method of electronically mapping telephone numbers to IP addresses.
