Hold on, currently service numbers are already given to the end-users
directly. What is proposed here
by Oliver is to do the same for portable geo and mobile numbers also.
This has nothing to do with ENUM.

He then proposes to use the MODEL (and the Registry technology) used for
domain names.

Still nothing to do with ENUM.

You may then use the Registry database to either populate ENUM DNS
and/or IN-databases.

Then ENUM may or may not be involved

So what is the problem in UK?
