Historically, the allocation of numbers has been seen primarily as a technical issue. Engineers at the Public Telecommunication Operators (PTOs) have had complete control over number allocation functions. In many countries, PTOs themselves have been designated as the legal entities authorised to control and manage national numbering plans and to make sure that they comply with national and international rules. Indeed, they themselves have been setting the national rules, if any, regarding number allocation. With the advent of liberalisation, however, and the rise of competition in service provision, the issue of numbering acquired important economic, political and commercial dimensions. A major concern expressed by competitive service providers in countries where competition is being introduced, is that the continuing control of national numbering schemes by incumbent operators may increase barriers to entry to new entrants in a market and thus hinder competition.

  • Revisiting Number Portability and Switching Cost from the Experience of South Korean Mobile Operator
    한국경제학보 제17권 제1호 The Korean Journal of Economics Vol. 17, No. 1(Spring 2010) Revisiting Number Portability and Switching Cost from the Experience of South Korean Mobile Operator 1) Joon Young Kim* Abstracts Many mobile phone subscribers have their own experience of switching from one network to the other. Introduction of Mobile Number Portability (MNP) in the Korean mobile market back in 2004 was believed to lower the switching costs of subscribers. This study reveals that subscribers perceive the switching cost still high, discouraging them from switching carriers. While MNP lowered switching costs considerably, a significant level of switching costs still remains despite MNP. Carriers develop new lock-in strategies that make them stay with current carriers. In addition, there are hidden costs other than MNP that should burden subscribers with. KRF Classification : B030906 Keywords : Switching costs, consumer benefits, mobile number portability Ⅰ. Introduction A product has switching costs if a buyer would purchase it repeatedly and find it costly to switch from one brand or product * Correspondence: Joon Young Kim, SK Research Institute, Jung-Gu Taepyung Ro 1 Ga 84, Seoul Finance Center 3rd Floor, Seoul Korea, E-mail: [email protected] 62 Joon Young Kim to another. Large switching costs lock in a buyer once he makes an initial purchase. The economics of switching costs and network effects have received a great deal of attention in recent decades. Their importance has been growing as information technology industries dominate a larger share of our economies. This paper examines the consequences of introducing mobile number portability (MNP) in Korea back in 2004 and the firms’ strategies under MNP, which is believed to reduce consumer- switching costs.

  • FACT SHEET* Nationwide Number Portability Notice of Proposed
    * FACT SHEET Nationwide Number Portability Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Notice of Inquiry – WC Docket No. 17-244; WC Docket No. 13-97 Background: Individuals and businesses value their telephone numbers and the ability to keep them – whether changing service providers, moving from one neighborhood to another, or relocating across the country. This Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Notice) and Notice of Inquiry (NOI)would seek comment on how best to move toward complete nationwide number portability (NNP) to promote competition between all service providers and to encourage the efficient routing of calls throughout the network. What the Notice and NOI Would Do: The Notice and NOI would propose and/or seek comment on: • Removing the Commission’s “N-1” requirement, which requires the second-to-last carrier to perform the number portability database query, to allow carriers flexibility in conducting number portability database queries to promote NNP and efficient network routing. • Eliminating the Commission’s dialing parity requirement as it applies to interexchange service to remove barriers to NNP and better reflect the competitive realities of today’s marketplace. • NNP models proposed by industry. • Ways number administration might be improved for more efficient technical, operational, administrative, and legal processes. * This document is being released as part of a “permit-but-disclose” proceeding. Any presentations or views on the subject expressed to the Commission or to its staff, including by email, must be filed in WC Docket No. 17-244, which may be accessed via the Electronic Comment Filing System (https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/). Before filing, participants should familiarize themselves with the Commission’s ex parte rules, including the general prohibition on presentations (written and oral) on matters listed on the Sunshine Agenda, which is typically released a week prior to the Commission’s meeting.
