Wide Open Access 2007 Jonas Myhr & Lars Nordstrom Money transfer services All substitutes have severe drawbacks Money transfer via mobile is being done today in an informal way Money transfer possible today by mail, bus, middlemen, banks etc.

Wide Open Access 2007 Jonas Myhr & Lars Nordstrom Mobile Number Portability Loss of phone number can be equal to loss of income! Number portability gives a possibility to bring a phone number along when switching mobile operator. Number portability can increase bargaining power for mobile subscribers towards mobile operators. Can lead to lower tariffs and better service if properly implemented. (Measuring the Benefits of Mobile Number Portability, Lyons, 2006) Or is number portability more suitable for markets with higher penetration?
