ABSTRACT

Considering the increased competition by Mobile Service Providers in Nigerian telecom markets, and millions being spent on advertisements by carriers to lure consumers, the desire and sometimes need to change to other mobile networks with better services heightens each day.

However most consumers and businesses place value on retaining their telephone numbers, and are as such reluctant to change mobile networks. Imagine the administrative, marketing, and goodwill costs associated with changing telephone numbers for a business, and even for individual phone users.

The above scenarios underscore the vitality and desirability of Mobile Number Portability(MNP) to enhance service quality and promote healthy competition among telecom operators in Nigeria. The wind of the MNP, which started blowing in Europe and America over a decade ago, is now spreading across the African continent and Nigeria cannot be left behind the wheel.

This paper will address the need and challenges surrounding MNP implementation, the roles of Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC), the benefits to the users, lesson(s) to learn from Global experiences of MNP implementation among others.


Telephone Number Portability in GSM Network

CHAPTER ONE

1.0 Introduction

There has been rapid growth in the penetration of telephony services in the last few years. But the growth has not been exponential in the quality of service offered or openness of business. Consumers are not satisfied with the operators' services and schemes. Traditionally, consumers are required to give up their mobile number on changing service providers. As a result, they are hugely inconvenienced by having to inform everyone about the change in their number. Besides there is likelihood of important calls (from people who didn't have the new number) being missed out, and so on.

The picture has now changed dramatically with the introduction of mobile number portability (MNP). A significant technical aspect of implementing number portability is related to the routing of calls or mobile messages (SMS,MMS) to a number once it is ported to some other network. portability benefits subscribers and increases the level of competition between service providers, rewarding service providers with the best customer service, network coverage, and service quality. Given the growth of telecom services, and enhanced competition in the mobile sector, it is pertinent to deliberate about the issue of mobile number portability at this time.

Operator portability both for fixed and mobile services, and service portability have been implemented in different parts of the world. It might be thought that number portability would have the greatest impact in maturing markets when service demand growth has eased and the market structure has become more rationalized.

August 2001 was a pivotal date in the history of Nigeria in which the first Global System for Mobile (GSM) communications call was made under a democratic government. This event heralded the dawn of a new era ” the era of GSM technology”, which has completely changed the face of doing business in Nigeria. One of the toughest decisions that can be taken by any mobile phone user in Nigeria today will be to discard a line because the user is not enjoying the best quality of service from the operator. It becomes more difficult if you have been using the line for say five to six years and it is your officially recognized line by business associates, family and friends both at home and abroad.

Changing one's cell number and services provider simply because of an inefficient service delivery from a particular service provider may not guaranty that the new services provider will be efficient in the long run. Besides, the fact that it may require to jettison a previous number with which one can be associated, comes with its own challenges particularly or business minded individuals.

But is it possible to change your service provider and still retain your number for the new service? The common cliché goes: you cannot eat your cake and have it. But this definitely is not the case with Mobile number portability (MNP). Of course, with mobile number portability, you can eat your cake and still have it, which means that you can change your service provider without changing your number.

Defense Procedure for Electrical / Electronics Engineering Researchers

In preparation for defending a project or seminar on Telephone Number Portability in GSM Network, it is imperative that as a nursing student, you demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of your research. The defense process is structured to include presenting your work, answering questions, and illustrating its pertinence. Initially, provide a succinct yet thorough introduction to your research topic, emphasizing its importance and the objectives, ensuring that both the audience and the External Examiner can understand the scope of your study.

Prior to your defense, be thoroughly acquainted with your research abstract and the critical elements of Chapter One, including motivation for embarking on this research, problem statement, objectives, and significance. In Chapter Two, be ready to cite at least two references from the literature review. For Chapter Three, you should be equipped to discuss the methodologies, tools, and techniques utilized. In Chapter Four, defend your research by justifying the findings and linking them to your research objectives.

Conclude your defense by succinctly summarizing the study and offering insightful, evidence-based recommendations. A professional dress code, such as wearing a suit and tie, is vital to create a favorable impression and elevate your presentation.

During the question and answer segment, the External Examiner may pose questions pertaining to your research. If confronted with a challenging or irrelevant question, respond diplomatically with, “Sorry, Sir/Madam, the question asked is beyond the scope of my study.” Whenever possible, direct your answers back to your research findings to reinforce your expertise.
