Mobile Number Portability (MNP) has been introduced in Haryana Circle since 24th November 2010. It is going to be implemented all over India by 20th January 2011.

What is MNP? MNP allows a subscriber to change the service provider while retaining the original number. Naturally, the service providers which have maximum number of telephones are sure to be hit, and new comers benefitted. There is the chance that BSNL will suffer  greatly. Airtel, Vodafone etc. also may be hit, but  BSNL  probably may be the biggest loser. In fact, it seems that MNP is being introduced so that the private companies will benefit at the cost of telecom PSUs, BSNL and MTNL.

One more reason why the management and workers together should ensure a better service to the people so that they will continue with BSNL/ MTNL.
