How?  If the ERN is pointing to e164enum.net and it is an Austrian
number, you would know it is an Austran mobile operator. I could
have told you also from looking at the number anyway

Yes, the ERN is only optional. It just saves you the time trying out all
possible options.

>3. I think this encourages fragmentation of the namespace for E.164.

The fragmentation is already happening. With this we could at least
try to keep a common anchor or umbrella.
