Mobile Number Portability further delayed to June 30

by Paul Joseph March 31, 2010 Featured

As anticipated , the Mobile Number Portability has been further delayed by 3 months to June 30th. According to various sources, Mobile Number Portability, which enables subscribers to retain their mobile numbers while shifting to different mobile operators has been delayed as the necessary networks are supposedly not in place yet. However we doubt if that is the real reason. I think that Mobile Operators are just too scared of losing lots of its customers once the MNP has been implemented. What do you say?
