International Cooperation on Numbering and Networks

The electronic communications landscape is becoming increasingly borderless as technology and service innovation continues to deliver new services and applications for consumers and businesses. It is therefore important for national numbering administrations to collaborate and co-operate on appropriate policies in the area of numbering and networks.
