Mobile Number Portability Dispute
Bulgaria’s Globul and Vivatel have signed the procedure for Mobile Number Portabily, which was adopted by the Communications Regulation Commission (CRC) on December 22, 2006. The Procedure, though adopted by CRC and signed by Globul and Vivatel cannot come into force without the consent of all mobile operators.
“We believe that very soon people in the country will enjoy the advantages which the European citizens have who consume mobile services – the right to chose a mobile operator”, said vivatel CEO Richard Shearer. “Today, the youngest operator signed officially the rules of the procedure for the implementation of number portability in mobile networks and proved once more it’s determination to be a driving force in the development of the mobile services market.
M-Tel for its part, says that it will only sign the mobile number portability procedure only after the revision of some parts that will cause problems to the customers.
