Wireless LNP in Canada
By Mark Evans | April 21, 2005
You have to like how Canada's wireless industry has decided to “address” the local number portability issue. After being told in February by the federal government that WLNP had to be addressed “expeditiously”, the industry announced with much fanfare today it will come up with a plan by Sept. 1. But it must be pointed out that coming up with a plan and actually offering WLNP to consumers are two completely different things. You can create a plan but it can take years to make it actually happen - exhibit A is the U.S. By making a big deal of a “plan”, the wireless industry is trying to make itself look like the good guy but anyone who gets too excited is fooling themselves.
