Information Madness

This was due for quite sometime now. Number portability, a system where subscribers do not have to change their mobile phone number if they shift from one operator to another. Most of the countries now a days provide number portability to cellphone subscribers. This is a good feature because you don't want to get stuck with a particular provider just because you don't want to change your phone number.

Though this "Number Portability" will not be available in all over India. First it will be available only in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai. It will be available to only mobile customers the end of 2008. So thats almost after one year. But I am surprised why will not be available nationawide?

There are some http://digital.agencyfaqs.com/perl/digital/news/index.html?sid=19648 speculations about this decision though. According to T.V.Ramchandran, Director General of COAI that mobile number portability was being introduced to benefit a select operator that wants to enter the GSM segment and thereafter poaching on the subscribers of existing GSM players. Now who doesn't know whom he is talking about? Ofcourse Reliance Communications.

Anyways, you can read more about it http://digital.agencyfaqs.com/perl/digital/news/index.html?sid=19648 here
