In paragraph 18 of the attached
FCC Order 03-284, the FCC
concluded that "...wireless
carriers may not impose
"business rules" on their
customer that purport to
restrict carriers' oblications
to port numbers upon receipt of
a valid request to do so."
Additionally, the paragraph
states, "We confirmed also that,
in cases where wireless carriers
are unable to reach agreement
regarding the terms and
conditions of porting, all such
carriers must port numbers upon
receipt of a valid request from
another carrier, with no
conditions."
FCC Order 03-284.doc
For any valid port request
submitted to a carrier, wireline
or wireless, it is the position
of the LNPA WG that the length
of time a customer has service
with a carrier should not
dictate if they can port out
from that carrier.
