China aims at MNP

7/8/2008, according to local media, the new Industry Information Ministry (MII)is considerting to bring Mobile Number Portability policy to mainland China.

During a meeting hold last week, MII officiers were discussing the possibility of one-way MNP in China. The so-called oneway MNP means that only subscribers from China Mobile can transfer to China Unicom or China Telecom. China Mobile dominates Chinese mobile communication market with nearly 70% market share. The introduction of oneway MNP is just to limite this domination.

According to the media who reported this first, even MII finally agrees on MNP in mainland China, there is still at least one year to carry out this policy. Lots of preparation and trail experiment need to be done at first.
