Yesterday, the CRTC approved a number of planning documents that were prepared by industry-wide committees concerned with solving issues surrounding the implementation of Wireless Number Portability.
The process is continuing to move along toward a March 2007 implementation. Included in the documents was a listing of areas that will not be ready on the national launch date, mainly because there isn’t portability in place for wireline competition in those exchanges.
With all the new models of phones out this Christmas, many people are signing up to multi-year contracts in order to take advantage of deals to upgrade. How many people will actually be in a position to switch when portability becomes available?
