Mobile Number Portability to help Indian users in big way
This technology opens various doors to those consumers, who may not be satisfied with their current mobile services operators. To add to this, the competition among the mobile network operators will turn stiffer.
IMAGINE YOUR Airtel’s mobile number ringing on Vodafone’s network, or Tata’s number on Reliance. Sounds incredible, but this is the new wave likely to hit the telecom sector in 2010 . The year of Mobile Number Portability (MNP) arriving almost a decade later when it was launched in developed countries, has finally arrived to add bonanza to the consumers. So what does MNP do - It enables mobile users to retain their mobile telephone numbers when changing from one mobile network to another. In simple words an Airtel customer migrating to Vodafone network does not have to buy a new number and can retain his old number in the new network.
A Consumer can then expect better competitive tariff, better voice quality, better customer service, as each service provider will lay huge emphasis on these norms in order to sustain the monopolistic competition.
In countries like USA, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, a number can be migrated to a new network for free after obtaining the PAC (port authorization code) within two hours after logging the MNP request, and straightaway the new network welcomes you.
MNP is all set to be implemented in few cities to start with, from April 1, 2010, in India, though the date looks a bit tentative as some modifications in terms of rules and regulations after some concerns were expressed on its implementation by the security agencies of the government.
But MNP should surely hit this year and would certainly be a welcoming move, creating a new sensation in mobile technology as it is here to stay for a long time.
