Mobile Number Portability................Finally

So finally , after years of long wait, Mobile Number Portability(or MNP) knocks the door for Indian subscribers. Now i can get rid of network operator specific numbers, and stick on to my number whom i've been holding on since years. Now no more "number change" issues, no more people complaining that i've been changing numbers frequently. Once a consumer has been on a network for 90days, he's entitled to port his number at a meagre free of Rs38(Rs19 for the old network,Rs 19 for the new network). And it'll take four days to process each request.

Now thats bad news for companies counting on its numbers for subscriber database,gosh its difficult to be a Cellphone operator in India !
