T.3-1 Relevant TSB databases

The INR database has undergone a major revamp, including the presentation of a more intuitive user interface. The database includes numbers and codes allocated in accordance with:
  • ITU-T E.164 "The international public telecommunication numbering plan"
  • ITU-T E.118 "The international telecommunication charge card"
  • ITU-T E.212 "The international identification plan for public networks and subscriptions"
  • ITU-T E.218 "Management of the allocation of terrestrial trunk radio Mobile Country Codes"
  • ITU-T Q.708 "Assignment procedures for international signaling point codes"
ITU members called on TSB to 'streamline' the process to report the misuse of INRs to make it as automatic as possible. The reporting mechanism has been redesigned to allow for a more user-friendly interface (available here). [69]

WTSA Res. 91 (Hammamet, 2016) – Enhancing access to electronic repository of information on numbering plans published by ITU-T – calls for ITU-T to enhance the electronic repository of numbering plans, recognizing that this function of ITU-T is essential to the reliability of ICT networks and services. [70]

T.3-2 Allocation and management of international telecommunication numbering, naming, addressing and identification resources in accordance with ITU-T recommendations and procedures

Notifications of national numbering/identification plan update and assignment or reclamation of national numbering/identification resources were received and published

in the ITU Operational Bulletin, issued twice a month in the six official languages of the Union. 

WTSA Res. 85 (Hammamet, 2016) Strengthening and diversifying the resources of the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector – calls for ITU-T to investigate possible measures to generate additional revenue for ITU-T, exploring the potential for revenue generation from international numbering resources and conformance and interoperability testing. [71]
