Greece's EETT Launches Telcordia Number Portability Solution
Telcordia Technologies, a global provider of telecommunications software and services, has announced that Greece's National Telecommunications and Post Commission, also known as EETT, has successfully launched the Telcordia Number Portability Clearinghouse solution, which has now been in operation for 6 months, enabling fixed line and mobile number portability for all service providers in Greece. The solution, which went fully operational for mobile customers in April 2004 and for fixed line customers in June 2004, puts Greece in compliance with the European Union number portability mandate and, ultimately, provides all Greek residents with more choice. "Telcordia's clearinghouse solution enables EETT to effectively manage the complexity and the speed at which number porting transactions must be processed," said Emmanuel Giakoumakis, President of the EETT. "Now, Greek consumers have unprecedented competitive choice for fixed line and mobile service and service providers can embrace new market opportunities and new revenue streams." Part of a five-year exclusive contract, the Telcordia solution enables fixed line and mobile number portability to Greece's 14 million phone lines, including 5.5 million fixed line and 10 million mobile lines. Telcordia and its in-country regional subcontractor, Spirit S.A., have worked closely with EETT and Greek carriers to get relevant business processes agreed upon, integrated and fully implemented. "We are pleased to be part of this successful implementation for EETT that will have lasting impact on customer service and competition in Greece's telecommunications market," said Nikos Skarpetis, General Manager, Spirit S.A.
