I hope this is not too off-topic. As a kind-of follow up to "rate sheet normalization" I'm still trying to figure out a solution for: throw 10 ratesheets at a program and get the cheapest codes/providers as output. For this purpose I believe I need a real, detailed, accurate list of all the dialing codes, incl. mobile codes, city codes etc. worldwide as a reference for that particular program. There are thousands of A-Z lists on the web, and there are thousands of codes in them, but nothing is accurate enough or from an official source. So, I spoke with the ITU today and they, funny enough, too don't have such a list. At least they don't have one that is computer parseable, like a .csv or .xls or something like that. What they have is: a single .doc or .pdf file for EACH country (1 file per country), which is not standardized in its content, with lots of text and descriptions, but it has all the codes. They don't even have such a list as a paid service. Feels like 30 years ago. :) Anyway, there is numberingplans.com which provide exactly what I'm looking for, but they don't support one-time purchases, only subscriptions from around 100 to 990 EUR per month, which is above my budget (and I don't need a subscription). Does anyone have an idea where to find such a list for free, or as a one-time purchase? If not, I'll probably go through the effort to compile my own list based on the ITU data. Let me know in case you want a copy then. :)
Although I do feel that 100+ Euros/month is more than most of us could
manage, I don't think a one-time list is of much value. I would be
interested in establishing a database if there was interest from enough
users for a modest subscription price.

[asterisk-users] Official numbering plan - where to get?
You are welcome to an incomplete dataset I have. Data was gathered from
publically available sources, including the ITU and Wikipedia. Data does NOT
include information for country code 1.
http://rock.nyigc.net/e164.csv.gz
Enjoy.

Using the appropriate licence would ensure that no one can pull the data and use it in a proprietary list -- a GPL-like licence for the data would ensure that any enhancements to the list also have to be distributed under the same conditions as the original. This way the people most benefiting from the list would probably end up doing the most amount of work, which is fair. I'd be glad to fill in India (if I can figure out that bureaucratic legalese in which the data is written).
