Hutchison 3G Austria starts MNP proceeding against its competitors
April 28, 2003
After 9 months of fruitless negotiations to derive a solution for implementing
Mobile Number Portability (MNP), Hutchison 3G is initiating a proceeding
with the Austrian regulatory authority against T-Mobile, One, Telering,
Telekom Austria and UTA. Hutchison 3G's regulatory expert Bernhard Wiesinger
commented: "The EU prescribes a deadline of July 25, 2003, for the implementing
Mobile Number Portability. Merely installing the technical solution will
take 3 to 6 months. Austria cannot afford more dead-end chats, with the
old telcoms consciously delaying progress."
Mobile Number Portability provides mobile phone users with the ability
to transfer their existing mobile number (including the prefix) to a new
service provider. This breaks down a barrier and provides for a level
playing field for competition.
The customer should not wait more than 24 hours to transfer a number
to a new service provider, while his contract with his old provider expires.
Hutchison also believes that the customer should not pay penalties for
the transfer. The charging should happen between the service providers.
Hutchison 3G expects a decision in 6 weeks concerning the submitted branch
solution (this term is designated by the telecom-law). But on Monday the
Austrian Telecommunications Control Commission (TKK) announced the intention
to rule on the admission the proceeding rather then the merits of the
decision.
