"Mobile users unhappy with their current service providers will soon have the option of switching operators without changing numbers, thanks to the government announcing guidelines for the same. "

it seems there will be a separate service provider for mobile number portability. this will be introduced in four metros in another 2 months

This is will force competition. At the moment, Mobile operators know that 50% of people wont change Mobile Operators since they number is flourished everwhere.

Its not 2 months !!!

Work on MNP will start in 2 months and it will be introduced in the metros in about 6 months time... towards the end of FY 2008-09. Other cities will have to wait for upto an year.
