Mobile number portability to be launched in August:
``The mobile number portability enabling customers to retain their old number while shifting from one operator to another would be launched in major cities by August this year,'' Union Minister for IT and Communication A Raja told reporters here on the occasion of launch of BSNL's 3G services.
AS I wrote in the last take of this column, mobile number portability service is now live in Nigeria, after a public launch of the service in Lagos last Monday at an event powered by telecoms regulator, the Nigerian Communications Commission.
