COMMENT ON NUMBER PORTABILITY |
"It
is not a network quality issue, it is a customer choice issue,
and it is a complicated infrastructure to put in place, when
the time comes it would be available here , and it is not a
major issue for us, but it is a very complex technological
challenge. It is being implemented in South Africa, about ten
percent of the client have taken advantage of it. We think
that the quality of our network has at the time when this
happens would be such a big flop to us when number portability
arrives. So it is not something that intimidates us, something
that we would work towards with the regulator and the
operators over time to bring. But it would no characterize as
an issue of network quality, it is not a panacea, it is not
going to solve problems, it may provide a little bit of
additional choice to customers. In a market like ours when
Sims are so cheap, people switch network any ways, so we would
not add a lot to the mix."
