Example Germany Same Problem – Many Solutions Mobile NP - Central Application OK Local NP – Distributed Solution Bad Service NP – Central Application OK Voice over IP NP No
NP Solution for Slovakia One Solution for FNNP,MNP,Voice/IP Central Application Paid by carriers /proportional by assigned number/ Central database run by local company Advantages : Same rules for everybody Automatic checking High reliability Lower investment per carrier Slovakia will be ahead of other countries with a working unified Number portability solution
