As the first privately licensed telecoms company in Micronesia, Boom started off by reselling broadband with backhaul via the single submarine cable that terminated on the island of Yap. There's quite a nice history of this interesting project here: https://apnic.foundation/projects/broadband-for-all-yap-state-fsm There's nothing on their website (iboom.io) to suggest they are launching mobile services, but the allocation of a Mobile and Geographic range suggests something is coming soon.
Added prefixes:
FSM-691961-MOBILE
FSM-691360-GEOGRAPHIC

None this week! Unusually we haven't seen any companies disappear completely.
Nxo France did drop their only range in Saint Martin (MAF-59059066-GEOGRAPHIC), but the company still has plenty of geographic, IPRS and VOIP prefixes allocated in France.
We detect when all numbering has moved from one company to another. This is usually indicative of M&A restructuring, or selling off of numbering IP between parties. Due to an update from Singapore, we have a lot of changes in the region, as well as the usual changes in Brazil.

The Ministry of Communications in Israel has released a new Numbering Plan for Israel. The raw data is available directly from the Ministry of Communications, and has been incorporated into the e164 Numbering Plan last week. Raw data is available from the Ministry of Communications.
Following the new numbering plan release from The Ministry of Communications in Israel, two new Operators were detected and added to the e164 numbering plan:
This company removed 112 prefixes from Brazil. It's a few too many to list them all here, please see the free newsletter for the full list.
Although Core Telecommunications International Limited are still registered in Ireland with the Companies Registration Office, their numbering has been recovered by OFCOM in the UK. The below prefixes are now "Quarantined" which effectively prevents them being re-allocated to a different party within 31 days.
FIBER VOX TELECOMUNICACOES DO BRASIL EIRELI ME has merged into ITANET CONECTA LTDA
Affected ranges
This existing provider of fibre in Austria has been allocated 2 distinct Freefone ranges by the Austrian regulator, Rundfunk Und Telekom. Because of an "open" variable length dialplan in Austria, these two ranges have valid numbering from 11 to 15 digits inclusive.
Added prefixes:
This dutch provider of wholesale voice and Direct Inward Dialing has taken their first numbering under their own brand name. All numbering is currently flagged as Geographic, and they have chosen their home country of the Netherlands to announce their first numbering resources.
Added prefixes:
We don't see a lot of changes in Serbia, so it's nice to see a new numbering in the country. Ugni are an established network provide with a wide footprint of optical and ethernet capacity. They have taken one geographic range in Serbia, with 1000 numbers available.
Added prefixes:
Two new number ranges have been allocated in Austria for Celia IT. We don't have much information on this entity, but have reached out to the CEO Michael Ailec for additional information.
Added prefixes:
New Mobile numbering has been allocated to iContrex in Denmark this last week. iCentrex are domiciled in Sweden and part of the Telavox group. They list unified communications as a focus and the allocation of numbering in Denmark is their first numbering worldwide.
Added prefixes:
Domino previously had geographic numbering in the Netherlands. They still have staff listed on LinkedIn, however their website is offline and the numbering has been recovered by the Dutch regulator, Authority for Consumers & Markets (ACM).
Numbering removed:
Previously Novosti had a small 10-block of international Premium Rate allocated in Serbia. This block has now been removed and no numbering is active in the block.
Prefixes removed:
Brdy are an MVNO Norway who use Telenor for their spectrum. Previously Brdy had a single numbering range allocated under their own name in Norway. We saw this single range move from Brdy to Telenor. Brdy are still operational but it appears that the numbering plan now does not specify Brdy exclusive ranges, and Brdy will no doubt be using Telenor ranges.
Prefix:
Following the absorption of Cosmote by OTE in 2024, the Greek regulator has now moved ranges from the name Cosmote to OTE
Prefixes:
Uslugowa INTERSIEc Urszula Kolodziej provided internet for residential users and had one number range allocated. This range has now been moved to Fibrelink
Prefix:
Mundio Mobile's numbering in Serbia has been moved to Sat Trakt (sattrakt.com)
Prefix:
A Fixed service provider, we've identified the range as Geographic
Added prefix 55622599xxxx (Brazil, +55, Geographic)
Another new geographic provider.

This state-owned company was formed in 2014 but only recently(ish) was assigned spectrum, acquiring a 5G license in 2019. They plan to deploy a 700 Mhz 5G network nationwide, using a partnership deal with China Mobile for joint network construction and access. They have been allocated their first numbering range, but it's a big one, taking a broad allocation of 86192xxxxxxxx. This allows a distinct 100 million MSISDNs.
Added prefixes
86192xxxxxxxx (China, +86, Mobile)
This AI powered CPaaS has been allocated its first numbering globally. They have taken 5 ranges in France, all 1k blocks each. This is the first numbering anywhere in the world that we have seen for Dialpad Inc. Dialpad are HQ'd in the USA, so acquiring numbering in France as their first country may be indicative of a more friendly regulator.

Added prefixes:
522452560xxx
This is an unknown entity for e164.com. We've seen three ranges registered in Mexico as Geographic, for "IGNACIO SÁNCHEZ GUTIÉRREZ". This seems to be a person's name, rather than a company name. Our sleuths did find that there's an Autonomous System Number registered for Asespri in Mexico using the same full name. Whether they are related or not we don't know, we have emailed Asespri to try and find out.

We detected 6365 unique new ranges this last week, from companies already allocated numbering in their respective countries.
As usual the USA has kept us busy with 1459 new ranges added, 300 of which were for NEW CINGULAR WRLS.
A notable new number of prefixes were added for Telia Eesti AS in Estonia. Telia added 214 new ranges just in Estonia, which brings the total number of ranges allocated to Telia (and its many entities) in the e164 numbering plan to 46,989 unique ranges. Considering some of the ranges are very wide, we might have the team look into which telecoms group has the most unique numbering in the world and start a league.
New IPRS ranges added for Namibia and Slovenia - they are attached to the weekly newsletter.
Namibia numbering
Netherlands we have added All premium rate number ranges that *may* be allocated. This is whilst we resolve an issue with Netherlands numbering.
