Another cell phone companies' war is to start in Peru soon: due to the upcoming numeric portability, which will come into effect on January 1st, 2010, the companies will start
a massive outreach campaign since October 15th.
Guillermo Thornberry, chairman of Osiptel, said that this will dynamize the market and enhance the competition among the telephonic companies, in order to offer better prices, fees and plans, and also to improve the coverage and quality of service.
Peru's Ministry of Transports and Communications reported that Spanish-Peruvian consortium El Corte Inglés, Everis Spain and Consulting Outsourcing Management Com, will manage the number portability database, under the supervision of Osiptel to make transparent the process, which will take nine days and will be free of charge.
