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
