One-number-one-nation concept
implementation started . The government yesterday cleared National Telecom
Policy 2012 that aims to abolish roaming charges thus allowing mobile phone
subscribers to use same number across country without having to pay any extra
charges.

that "Target is one nation full mobile number portability and work towards
one nation free roaming" They got cabinet approval to implement NTP. The
Department of Telecom will now start process to implement full mobile number
portability allowing users to retain their existing number at the time of
changing their service providers across any state in the country. It may requires
some more time to reach the consumers .
