Mapapanatili na ng cellphone users ang kanilang mga numero kahit nagpapalit sila ng providers kapag naisabatas ang panukalang Mobile Number Portability (MNP).
Inendorso ng House information and communications technology (ICT) committee, ang House Bill No. 7652 o “Mobile Number Portability Act ” para aprubahan sa plenaryo.
“Through long and consistent use, a mobile phone user acquires property rights over their phone number. They contain vital information and connect users to one another. Forcing them to surrender these numbers when changing networks is akin to depriving them of a vital commodity, especially in the digital world,” diin ni Tarlac Rep. Victor A. Yap , isa sa mga may-akda.
