Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has recommended a nationwide deadline for implementing complete mobile number portability. Set for June 2009, this last deadline has been sent by TRAI to the country’s Department of telecommunications, which already said that the facility will be available in the metropolitan cities by December 2008. June 2009, is thus set as a deadline that covers the mobile phone users in the entire country.
In addition, TRAI also suggested the creation of an independent Mobile Number Portability Clearing House Administrator which will be entrusted with the task of controlling and managing mobile number portability in the country.
“There will be ‘break-before-make’ arrangement for completion of porting process, i.e. connection from donor network to be disconnected first and then connection with recipient network will be made. However, efforts should be made so that break period should not be for more than two hours,” TRAI added.
