Where's My Local # Portability

By Mark Evans | Published: November 24, 2004
Today marks the first anniversary of wireless number portability in the U.S. – an option used by about 8.5 million people to switch carriers. Of that total, 732,000 apparently gave up their home service to go completely wireless. Given there are about 170 million wireless users in the U.S., LNP has been far from the [...]
