Meteor which is an Irish network now have 1 million customers out of a population of 4.5million I would not call them weak (Three is the forth network nobody knows what share of the market they have). The MNP implementation has work as between 200-300 thousand people switched networks in 2007. What's even better is that you can port within a couple of hours. Mark Tahani,

The only right way to do it is to tender the MNP project to independent companies and let them make money from it if they can. Everything else is just an expensive mess benefiting only consultants and regulators. We customers end up paying for it all anyway.
