Kolkata: The telecoms regulator plans to review the per-port transaction charge and related ancillary levies for mobile number portability<\/a> (MNP<\/a>) at a time when monthly porting requests are falling, post-sector consolidation.

When a mobile user moves from one service provider to another, the recipient telco pays a per-port transaction charge to the MNP service provider for processing porting requests. The per-port transaction charge was reduced from Rs 19 to Rs 4 by
the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India<\/a> (Trai<\/a>) in January 2018.

“Porting data for the last one year shows the number of port requests per month is declining, and the Authority may review and modify the per-port transaction charge at the end of one year,” the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) said in its discussion paper issued Friday.

Accordingly, Trai has sought industry views on whether per-port transaction charge should be computed by the regulator using its current methodology, or whether there should be a change. It has urged stakeholders to suggest an alternate methodology, with detailed calculations, in the event they want a change in the formula.

Last year, the two companies that deliver MNP services in India — MNP Interconnection Telecom Solutions and Syniverse Technologies — had written to the telecom department (DoT) that the near-80% reduction in per-port transaction fee since January 2018 had led to daily losses and would force them to shut services once their licence terms ended in March 2019.

“The issue of review of per-port transaction charges was raised by some stakeholders during the consultation on Draft Telecommunication MNP (Seventh Amendment) Regulations, 2018, and the Authority had said that its review would be notified separately after consultation with all stakeholders,” Trai said in its discussion paper.

The regulator said the role of MNP service providers had changed following amendments in the porting drill, which now requires them to incur “fresh capex\/opex in additional hardware, storage, software and even develop\/maintain a web portal” offering real-time public information on progress of porting requests.

Separately, the regulator has also sought industry views on whether porting charges – the fee a mobile user pays for switching from one operator to another -- should be “prescribed as a ceiling charge” as is the current practice. In the event , industry wants a review, Trai has suggested that they come up with an alternate methodology for computing porting charges as well.

去年,这两家公司在印度提供MNP服务- MNP互连电信解决方案和Syniverse技术——写了电信部门(点),每个端口的减少近80%的交易费2018年1月以来已导致每日损失,将迫使他们一旦关闭服务许可证条款在2019年3月结束。

“审查每个端口交易费用的问题提出的一些利益相关者磋商期间电信MNP草案(第七修正案)规定,2018年,和权威表示,其评估将另行通知与所有利益相关者磋商后,“火车在其讨论文件表示。

监管机构称MNP服务提供者的角色已经改变了在移植钻修正案之后,现在要求他们承担“新鲜的capex和opex额外的硬件、存储、软件甚至开发/维护一个门户网站”提供实时公共信息移植请求的进展。
