Main issues
• Take care of numbering and addressing
when designing new mobile systems
• E.164 is the numbering plan for
international telecommunication
• E.164 is a scarce resource
• Scarcity should be assessed in each national
numbering plan (i.e. in the numbering
ranges dedicated to mobiles in the plan)

Issues that might be raised in
future studies
• Creation of global number range(s) for new
mobile systems (e.g. vehicle tracking) ?
• Specific assignment procedures for numbers
