As talks and correspondence grew and took time without progress we sent the request to RIPE NCC and a bit later the regulator got the official request from ITU-T. Their response to this difficult situation was to hand over the case to their resort ministry (for Science, Technology and Development).
This is happening because the holder of the country code for Denmark made the choice of doing so, and the holder of the Danish country code in E.164 made the choice of blocking deployment of ENUM and VoIP. In other countries, Sweden for example, the regulator made the choice of moving forward, suggesting a trial to start asap (and that includes request delegation of the country code for Sweden to the party that runs DNS for .SE ccTLD). Now when the trial is over, the regulator has suggested to the government that ENUM use should be permanent (but until the government make a decision, the trial continue so people can use ENUM). I have personally, together with Joakim Strålmark from the regulator in Sweden, visited Denmark many years ago suggesting the same mechanism for Denmark, so evolution of services and convergence according to the Lisbon Agenda is not blocked. I am sorry to hear your government did not understand those arguments, or see other arguments having heavier weight. As I live close to Copenhagen, and agree with you that the regulator in Denmark has made the wrong choice, don't hesitate contacting me if you want more arguments. If nothing else, you can say "sweden didn't block evolution as you did" to whoever is responsible, and see whether that helps. The report from the regulator is excellent (but only in Swedish, but I am pretty sure you can manage that).
