A statement released by the Office of Communications in the UK has made one of the most cogent and reasonable arguments for number portability. Given that phones are now used more widely and reliance on them has grown, the losses that could accrue from change of service providers are a part of the consideration that individuals make. So while this blogger is generally tolerant of very minimal regulation, here is one regulatory measure that has unequivocal support.
The primary reason for my support is that measures to ensure seamless number portability for consumers is great for competition. Transfer of calls to a new network is expected to occur within a couple of hours following a formal communication of change of providers.
