The Utilities Regulation and Competition Authority (URCA) has launched a survey inviting public reaction to the introduction of Number Portability in The Bahamas. Number Portability is a service that allows subscribers to keep their existing telephone number(s) even though they might change from one service provider to another.
The survey is a first step in assessing consumer preferences. The survey was conducted over a two week period and has been completed thus far. The results will be a part of a consultation document along with other information and interested parties will be able to contribute information to the consultation when it is published.
The press release on number portability can be downloaded for information.
