Wireless Number Switching Quickens

Following up on things I’ve written about number portability in the US: Switching seems to be picking up steam of late as Reuters/Yahoo News reports in “Pace for Wireless Number Switches Quickens“.

Stats worth noting from the article include:

  • There are approximately 168.5 million US wireless subscribers as of now
  • 5.4 million customers have switched since number portability rules went into effect in November 2003
  • More than 2.8 million of those switched from May to July 2004
  • 544,000 “cord cutters” moved their home or office landline phone number to their wireless phone since last November
