Ah yes, sorry, I was thinking of the shorter term of 2007 (which is when
most of the changes in the document are slated for).

If 06 is opened then [end of 2007], current 070 services would be
expected to transfer by the end of July 2009, and we would cease to
allocate new 070 personal numbers after 2007. As part of this review
Ofcom will attempt to contact all providers who have been allocated 070
personal numbers.
