A person using "A" service provider's service and his mobile number starts with 077xxxxxxx. But sevice provider "B" offers very attractive package for a very low amount of charges. And if we are to join "B" we should change our number. But still will u be able to change the provider. For me I cant because the switching cost might exceed the benefit received from changing the service provider. Most of the people today have this problem.
Solution for this could be number portability. What happens in number portability is a particular person will have a one fixed number. And any service provider would be able to get connected and provide services to that number. So switching operator wont be a hazard anymore and it also will lead to more competitive market for mobile service providers. Competitiveness obviously will result in many innovations and subscribers will get the maximum yield out of it.
This concept is somewhat similar to IP V6 concept, in which every individual would be able to own a private IP address of his own with the large address range.
There are practical use of number portability as for today. Even in india it exists. So this is the right time for us to move on and get mixed up with the modern world which is with less hazards.
