MNP Impact Assessment

June 2004 (36 pages)
Mobile Number Portability (MNP) has now been implemented across Western European markets, as well as several major markets outside Europe including Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and the USA. Approximately 20 markets have implemented MNP since the first introduction of the service in Singapore in 1997.

In the current report, we provide detailed MNP case studies from the Finnish and Italian markets, and highlight the impact of MNP across 13 international markets in which a combined total of 16 million numbers have been ported so far. In particular we:

  • Illustrate how and why there has been no correlation so far between the introduction of MNP and the volume of numbers ported.
  • Reveal huge differences in MNP impacts between markets, and identify the factors contributing to these differences
  • Examine and quantify the importance of an efficient porting process in persuading a large proportion of churning customers to port their numbers
  • Illustrate how other market and regulator specific conditions also impact the number of customers availing of MNP
  • Identify the vicious cocktail of conditions that leave incumbents most vulnerable to a sustained MNP-related churn spike
  • Reveal how and why some incumbent operators have managed to reduce churn since the introduction of MNP while others have seen churn increase by over 100%
  • Identify the offensive strategies employed by MVNOs, Service Providers and late entrant market operators to exploit MNP to their advantage
  • Identify defensive strategies employed by incumbent operators in response to the churn stimulation threat posed by MNP
