TELECOMMUNICATIONS-SPECIFIC STRATEGIES AND POLICIES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

Summary/Abstract: Fixed telephony subscribers can choose to keep their phone number if they switch operators even if they remain in the same location. The portability of the so-called non-geographical numbers must be possible in the case of changing both the operator and the address. The author points out that number portability is available to all mobile service subscribers. A domain name usually consists in a basic field and in a few secondary level domains. The Internet operating system consists in separate names and addresses. The domain names are generally permanent, and a host, including the associated services, will keep the same name even if it is attached to different networks. On the other hand, the IP address must indicate the connection point and that is why it can be temporary.
