In 2016, the Telecommunications Commission consulted the TCI market stakeholders on the proposed introduction of Number Portability into the TCI telecommunications market and subsequently determined that operational/technology developments and consolidation between service providers across the Caribbean region are radically changing the market competitive dynamics.
The Commission believes that the local telecommunications market could benefit from the introduction of Number Portability across both mobile and fixed platforms, to bring value to the consumers, by enabling them to move their number to a provider of their choice that best meet their needs.
We wish to consult with the public on the feasibility of Number Portability in TCI telecommunications market and therefore are seeking the assistance of interested persons or companies to conduct a consumer survey to garner feedback on the development, implementation and introduction of mobile and fixed Number Portability services within the TCI.
