Actually, the IETF-related concerns are with engineering and operations, 
not busines, politics or altruism.

Like domain names, telephone numbers require unique resolution.  Multiple 
resolution mechanisms means that what you find out depends on who you ask.

That would mean that using +1.408.246.8253 might resolve to Brandenburg 
Consulting or it might resolve to someone else.  Such an ambiguity renders 
the utility of a global labeling scheme pretty much useless.
