The United Kingdom’s telecommunications and broadcasting regulator, Ofcom, has received $915,000 (£700,000) to explore blockchain as a potential solution to the nation’s telephone number management woes.

The money from the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy will fund research and development into telecom technologies used in the management and delivery of landline telephone numbers, Ofcom announced yesterday.

Ofcom believes that blockchain and distributed ledger technology will be able to address the impending obsolescence of current systems [...] The telecom regulator thinks that blockchain will bring a cost-effective, collaborative, and future-proof solution.
