MNP regulations launch in Thailand, operators not ready yet

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: Mobile Number Portability regulations have been implemented in Thailand, though it still remains unclear whether the subscribers will be able to port their mobile numbers or not as the operator are still not ready for the service. The operators will have jointly create a central clearing house to facilitate porting within three months. However, the operators have said they will not be able to do this within that time.
AIS, DTAC and TrueMove are set to report to the regulator that they cannot meet the deadline, AIS president Wichian Mektrakarn said. The National Telecommunications Commission, however, reportedly said the operators should have made progress on MNP services some time ago as the regulator discussed the regulations with the operators two years ago.
