Assessment of Mobile Number Portability (MNP) in Nigeria.
Journal Title: International Journal of Electronics Communication and Computer Engineering - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Mobile number portability (MNP) introduced by the Nigerian telecommunication commission (NCC) allows a subscriber to change his/her network provider (NP) without losing his/her original mobile station integrated services digital network number (MSISDN). MNP was introduced to create competition and improved quality of service among various service providers. This paper gives an assessment of MNP in Nigeria. This work reviews the operating principles, the benefits, challenges and areas of reconsiderations of the MNP policy since its inception in Nigeria. Findings show the initial excitement MNP generated gradually decreased because service providers could not improve their services to give subscribers reasons to maximise the MNP scheme.
