Pan India MNP rollout to miss its deadline again

[Navjot Singh]

Telecom subscribers may have to wait till July to avail nationwide mobile number portability service as the DoT has asked operators to make some technical changes which could take about eight weeks, industry body COAI said Monday.

"The DoT has issued new amendment in national numbering plan (NNP). To make these, telcos will need to configure mobile switches across country and route them properly. This would take about eight weeks and then it has to be tested," COAI Director General Rajan S Mathews told PTI.

"In a nutshell, it seems very difficult to roll-out full MNP by May 3. We are planning to write to the DoT on this," Mathews said.
