FQTN

Complete E.164 numbers in the international notation according to E.123 are sometimes referred to as Fully Qualified Telephone Numbers ( FQTN ) in connection with ENUM , because they uniquely designate a telephone connection worldwide. The term is formed parallel to Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN): " [ENUM] is the name of a protocol that resolves fully qualified telephone numbers to fully qualified domain name addresses using a DNS-based architecture.
