Mobile subscribers will have to wait longer if they want to migrate to another service provider while retaining the same number. The government is likely to postpone the launch of the mobile number portability (MNP) scheme to early next year. The present deadline for implementation of the scheme was this month-end.
“The new dates will be announced soon. This time, we will ensure the service providers have enough time to get ready for MNP and there is no further extension for its implementation,” the official said.The MNP Gateway is required to handle porting communication between operators.
Implementation of Mobile Number Portability would help us to choose the best operator without changing the number. Govt.’s repeated postponement will protect the profitability of old operators like Airtel and Vodafone. Old Operators successful lobbying resulted in this move which effectively postpone the large number of mobile subscriber’s churning.
