I can confirm Patrik: ENUM standard is in use, somewhat, with variatians.
(We occasionally even get consultancy work assigned on ENUM deployments.)

What I normally see in the wild, I would certainly not call "Public User 
ENUM" (what we designed ENUM / RFC 6116 for). Most of the deployments are 
"Private Infrastructure ENUM", some are "Private User ENUM". I have not 
encountered any "Public User ENUM" nor "Public Intrastructure ENUM" for 
some time.

["Public" meaning the root is owned and/or governed by a public / official 
/ "higly-recognized" body, e.g. governmental, ICANN, ... ; "User" meaning 
Enduser has control over the content of the zone belonging to his own 
number (as oposed to "Infrastructure" where zone is controlled by a 
provider).]

I wonder whether my observations match with what others see in the wild.


The mailing list needs to remain open. There is a mention in RFC 6117 
of this list as the central place to discuss new Enumservices.


Have a nice summer and c.u. (or at least some of u) in Montreal!

cheers,
  Bernie (another former ENUM co-chair)

Designing things to have so large RRSets is not very optimal, so other DNS types would be better. I suggested the simple URI. But it itself got stuck in the IETF process of creation of new RRTypes, and when it finally was approved, the interest in deployment was sort of gone :-(
