Talk:Short code

Much more is needed here: who regulates/issues short codes in Europe? Are European short codes EU-wide? Are North American short codes uniform across the U.S. and Canada? What is the relationship with traditional numbering plans? And so on... -- Anon 23:11, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Copyvio

Large parts of this article are directly copied and pasted from two web sites. The rest needs more investiation as it's very like the rest is a copyvio too chowells 00:48, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Copied and subsequently edited by others makes it an unauthorized derivative work and therefore still a copyright violation. It shouldn't be too hard for someone who knows this subject to write an article from scratch – there wasn't that much here to begin with. — Kbh3^rd talk 03:54, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've written this article from scratch; it's available at Common Short Code/Temp -PdDemeter 02:05, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I've removed the infringing version, replacing it with your new version. BTW, I (hopefully) made the intro paragraph a little more clear about exactly what this is – please check to make sure that I understood it correctly. — Kbh3^rd talk 03:41, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks :) I've made a few changes to what you added, so hopefully it's all nice and clear now! -PdDemeter 19:02, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Asking Neustar for permission

Is someone asking Neustar, the copyright owner, for permission.

It's not necessary to ask permission simply to report that such a thing exists and to broadly discuss the technological concepts behind it. — Kbh3^rd talk 03:28, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
