What is number portability (NP)?
Number Portability
allows subscriber to changen their service provider to one having –
the best service qualityn
lower tariff options,n
n & better network coverage
while retaining their old telephone number.

Technological reasons for implementing
Arguments against implementation - India not yet ready as Implementation requires large technological changes;
My Argument why it should be implementedn
Our Mobile network is state of the art; technically much better than many countries where MNP is already working
We introduced many services ahead of even developingn countries e.g. GPRS
n Fixed line NP may have problems; can be sorted and taken up in next stage
n If it can work in S Korea – 2004; Greece – 2004; Lithuania – 2005; Belgium – 2000; Honk Kong - 1998
why not in Indian
Arguments against implementation - India not yet ready as Our tele-density is still much below developed countries; We should concentrate on increasing tele-density; We have enough operators for competition
My Argument why it should be implemented
Mobilen nos. in India are largely in Urban areas. Our urban tele-density is ~40.
Wen added almost 18m mobiles in last 3 months. That means urban teledensity has increased over 6 in last three months.
Requires 12-18 months inn implementation after decision. Urban tele-density may cross 50 by then. following table indicate that we will be at par or better than developed countries in terms of tele-density for implementing Number Portability(NP)
