Neustar met with the FCC Technology Transitions Policy Task Force Thursday to discuss the numbering and routing administration necessary to enable the IP transition, said an ex parte filing (http://bit.ly/1m1uKLX). Infrastructure is already in place for the transition, said the company. Neustar also discussed ways to address number demand due to increases in machine-to-machine applications, including the use of non-geographic numbers and the possibility of using routing numbers other than phone numbers. Neustar discussed the use of number pooling in blocks of less than 1,000, and discussed the technical feasibility of consolidating numbering-related databases.
