Hello Peng, 1- CRTC is a regulatory body for communications and does not provide the services you need. Bell, Allstream, Rogers, or even ITSPs can provide you with DIDs. 2- Question too general. Depends on your business model, geographic area, type of market you are looking to penetrate, etc... 3- Even using ENUM you still have to pay for DIDs if you are looking to use it. Not sure which provider does ENUM. Hope this help,Bruce
