\"\"KOLKATA<\/a>: Phone companies and analysts have backed the telecom regulator’s call to review the mobile number portability (MNP) process to make it more efficient but cautioned that the porting scenario in India with over a billion users is far more complex than the rest of the world.
\n
\nTelcos said India, which, typically, sees millions of porting requests every month, also faces the challenges of a predominantly prepaid market coupled with the presence of only two MNP service providers.
\n
Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (
Trai<\/a>) chairman RS Sharma recently said the sector regulator would issue a discussion paper by the end of this month to review the MNP mechanism and explore ways to reduce the time taken to switch from one carrier to another.
\n
“The telecom regulator must realise that the MNP scenario in India is unlike anywhere else in the world, and there are no simple solutions to make the process more efficient, which is why, the proposed consultation process needs to be very exhaustive,” said
Rajan Mathews<\/a>, director general of Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI). Speeding up the MNP process, he said, would be “a huge challenge” in India, where “millions of porting requests come every month, unlike in other telecom markets such the US or Europe where the volumes are much lower”.
\n
\nIndia being a 22-circle telecom market, which is home to multiple carriers, national long distance (NLD) and international long-distance (ILD) operators along with only two MNP service providers and nearly a billion customers makes the exercise all the more complex, experts said.
\n
\nMathews said the upsurge in India’s wireless subscriber base has led to “a 1,600% jump in the
\n
\nvolume of MNP requests” between August 2011 (18.6 million) and October 2017 (315 million). The jump in annual MNP requests has also been sharp from a modest 6.4 million in FY11 to nearly 64 million in FY17, according to COAI data .
\n
\nTrai’s plans to speed up the MNP process comes on the heels of the sector regulator slashing by nearly 80% to a maximum of 4 the fee charged to consumers for porting from one service provider to another.
\n
“Speeding up the MNP process should technically not be impossible, given that innumerable Aadhaar-based new customer activations are already happening in a matter of hours,” said Naveen Kulkarni, telecoms analyst at brokerage

加尔各答:电话公司和分析师支持电信监管机构的要求来检查手机号码可移植性(MNP)过程,使之更有效,但警告移植场景在印度拥有超过十亿的用户远比世界其他地区更复杂。

印度电信公司表示,一般来说,看到数以百万计的移植请求每一个月,也面临的挑战主要是预付费市场加上只有两个MNP服务提供商的存在。

印度电信管理部门(火车RS Sharma)主席最近说,行业监管机构将问题讨论的论文这个月底审核MNP机制,探索减少时间开关从一个到另一个载体。

“电信监管机构必须意识到,MNP场景在印度与世界上其他任何地方都不同,也没有简单的解决方案,使流程更有效率,这就是为什么提出咨询过程需要非常详尽,”说Rajan马修斯印度手机运营商协会总干事(COAI)。加快MNP的过程,他说,是“一个巨大的挑战”在印度,在那里“每月数以百万计的移植来的请求,不像美国或欧洲等其他电信市场量要低得多”。

印度22-circle电信市场,拥有多个运营商,国家长途(NLD)和国际长途(ILD)运营商只有两个MNP服务提供商和近十亿客户使锻炼更加复杂,专家说。

Mathews说印度的无线用户数量的激增导致了“增长了1600%

MNP的体积之间的请求”2011年8月2017年10月(1860万)和(3.15亿)。年度MNP的请求也被大幅跳升640万的FY11 FY17近6400万,根据COAI数据。

火车的计划加快MNP过程之前的行业监管机构削减了近80%的最大4向消费者收取费用从一个服务提供者移植到另一个地方。

“加快MNP的过程不应该在技术上是不可能的,因为无数Aadhaar-based新客户激活已经发生在几小时内,“Naveen Kulkarni说电信分析师经纪PhillipCapital
