Fo. N Machine 2 Machine (M 2 M) • In December Fo. N Reported on: – The International Telecommunications Union (ITU-T) Study Group 2 (SG 2) update on the Future of Numbering work and the M 2 M work at ITU SG 2 – An update was provided on the Global System for Mobile Association (GSMA) group work on resources for M 2 M • Estimates are that by 2020 there will be 40 -50 billion M 2 M devices globally with 40 -50% of that expected in the United States. • Questions of how the M 2 M “traffic” will move and what use/application will be made of the M 2 M information. • In December Fo. N presented NANC with a request for Fo. N to monitor and review the M 2 M activities by the various organizations. • NANC wanted to address at March meeting March 29, 2012 3

Fo. N M 2 M • There are now 29 NPAs designated for Personal Communication Service (PCS)/M 2 M. – Three NPAs have exhausted (500, 533, and 544) and the fourth is being opened/implemented for assignment (566), which leaves 25 more NPAs available for M 2 M. – Given the last two NPAs (533, and 544) lasted about 12 months each, at the recent rate of demand, the resource should last over 20 years based on a linear forecast. – If the demand increases to 2 NPAs per year, the resource would last 10 years. • As there are currently adequate resources, the Fo. N could monitor demand plan accordingly. • For the FON, it should suffice to do periodic updates on M 2 M Addressing (from 3 G Partnership Project (3 GPP), GSMA, ITUT, Industry Numbering Committee (INC) and other groups).

Future of Numbering WG Mission • To explore changes to the environment, including new and future technologies, the impact of market place and/or regulatory changes and innovations on telephone numbering. Scope: • The Working Group will investigate new telephone numbering assignment approaches and future telephone number assignment requirements. The Working Group will identify common criteria and gather data to identify trends and their impact upon numbering resources. The Working Group, if necessary, will analyze opportunities to determine the feasibility and benefit of each and report its findings to the NANC. The Working Group will also analyze various topics that may be given to it from time to time by the NANC and/or FCC. March 29, 2012 8
