A senior official from the department of telecommunications (DoT) confirmed that Telcordia has been given 'conditional clearance' by the ministry of home affairs and MNP will be launched on January 20.
Telcordia and Syniverse Technologies were selected by DoT to implement MNP across the country. India was divided into two zones for the implementation of MNP, a service that would allow a mobile user to retain his phone number while shifting to a new operator.
US-based telecom network software and services provider, Telcordia Technologies said on Wednesday its development centre set up at Chennai will cater to the domestic market and other countries of South East Asian region.
