India's Department of Telecommunications (DoT) will begin mobile number portability (MNP) testing for the Haryana circle on 8 November and will go live on 25 November, reports the Business Standard. For the rest of the circles, it will be implemented in phases. DoT had given licences to Syniverse Technologies and MNP Interconnection Telecom Solutions to implement MNP. In March 2009, the Ministry of Home Affairs revoked the FIPB approval to Telcordia, citing security concerns. DoT has now asked Syniverse to be ready for implementation of MNP across the country, as it may have to withdraw the licence to Telcordia.
