Abstract: In a Report and Order, FCC 10-85, in which the Commission adopted rules 47 CFR sections 52.26, 52.35 and newly adopted 47 CFR section 52.36. The FCC has long recognized the importance consumers being able to keep their telephone numbers when they switch telephone service providers. In this Report and Order (R&O), we ensure that service providers can accomplish these transfers quickly. Called local number portability (LNP), the ability to transfer a familiar number to a new carrier enhances competition by enabling a consumer to choose a service provider based on his or her needs, without being deterred by the inconveniences of having to change their phone number. This Order completes the task of facilitating prompt transfers by standardizing the data to be exchanged when transferring a customer's telephone number between two wireline providers; a wireline and wireless provider; or an interconnected VoIP provider and any other service provider. We also adopt recommendations made to the FCC by the North American Numbering Council (NANC). The deadline for implementing one-business day porting is 8/2/10 for all but small providers, which must comply by 2/2/11.
