Number Portability Implementation in India
kcvvenkit replied to niket's topic in Indian Telecom / General News
Retain your mobile number, just switch the operator! FRUSTRATED at being stuck with a personal phone number that prevents you from changing over to another service provider who offers you a better bang for the buck? The wait may not be long if the regulatory body makes up its mind on what is called ‘number portability’ in technical jargon, allowing phone subscribers to switch from one service provider to another while retaining the phone number. North Carolina-based Tekelec, which provides telecom solutions worldwide, has offered to bring its number portability technology to the Indian market to allow users to hold on to a mobile number even while switching service providers. “The technology, which can be used both in fixed-line and in mobile networks, will cost all of $1 per subscriber,” said Ravi Ravishankar, the company’s director for global marketing.“Projections show that India will have 250 million telephone subscribers by 2007 and for the technology to support such a volume on a nationwide basis, it could cost anywhere between $150 million and $200 million,” Ravishankar said. “But it all really depends on what the telecom watchdog - the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India - decides to do here,” he said. “Service providers otherwise may not be too keen to spend extra money for a situation they might not want.” The regulatory body has already circulated a consultation paper on the issue and several service providers, including Bharti Televentures, Reliance Infocomm and Tata Teleservices have sent in their responses - some in favour, others opposed. Open house discussions are being held in several cities before a final decision. If the number portability technology is made mandatory, users can then seamlessly switch between networks, which could seriously affect brand loyalty and set off another race of lowered tariffs, industry analysts said. The technology is widely prevalent in most parts of Europe and North America, as also countries like Singapore.Ravishankar said that the only problem they foresaw for the use of the number portability technology in India was the diversity of phone technologies - since the country uses both the GSM and CDMA standards, besides fixed-land telecom. “Migrating from CDMA to GSM phones is the only issue we see in India but that is something that we will take up as it comes,” Ravishankar said. Asked about the time period for incorporating the number portability systems in India, another Tekelec official, Travis Russell, said that since the company had the technology ready, it was just a matter of deploying it in the right places. “Deployment is not an issue; it could be set up in a period of six-eight months. In a country as geographically diverse as India, we would recommend a region-wise set-up like we have in the United States,” Russell added. 60 m GSM lines’ tender in March COMMUNICATION and IT Minister Dayanidhi Maran, on Sunday, announced that state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited would invite bids for adding 60 million GSM lines envisaging an investment of over $4.5 billion. “We are witnessing a record growth in the addition of subscribers in last few months this needs to be continuously fuelled. Public sector companies BSNL and MTNL are extremely aggressive. BSNL will float a tender for adding 60 million lines in the first week of March, Mr Maran said on the sidelines of function to launch Ericsson’s Global R&D centre in Chennai. -
