行動電話號碼可攜及電信號碼資源收費相關機制之研究

Abstract

我國固網業者已於本年5月20日起在「三大都會區」開始提供市話號碼可攜服務(FNP)，且第三代行動通信業務已規定必須提供號碼可攜服務(NP)，至於2G服務則尚未有號碼可攜之要求。我國2G行動電話服務已成熟，因此應要求業者提供行動號碼可攜(MNP)，不但能排除消費者轉換行動電話服務業者的障礙，優良的行動電話業者也可以提昇其服務的品質，而能爭取更大的市場佔有率。所以提供行動號碼可攜服務是我國行動通信服務的一個新的里程。 由於電信科技快速進步，且與網際網路密切結合，加速新興電信服務蓬勃發展，對於電信號碼資源之需求日益增加。善加管理電信號碼資源，對於業者提供加值服時能獲得號碼資源之公平性，與增進消費者之權益與方便性均極為重要。 本研究將探討已實施MNP國家之成功範例及國際上實施MNP之技術及標準。並對行動通信業者實施MNP之實施機制、實施時程、及管理規範提出建議。此外，也將建立電信號碼資源合理管理之機制，包括公開授權的委託管理制度、或收費的制度，期能使電信號碼資源之分配、管理及使用做到合理、公平及有效率 。

Taiwan fixed network Number Portability (FNP) became available in three metropolitan areas starting May of 2002. 3G Mobile Number Portability (MNP) has been defined in the standards as a mandatory requirement. MNP is not yet required for the 2G mobile communications service in Taiwan. It is time to plan for it for the following reasons: 1.) The penetration rate of 2G-service has reached 102% in Taiwan. The market is becoming stagnant. 2.) 3G-service is to be offered in the near future. 3G customers would demand keeping their original mobile telephone numbers. The goal of this research is to make recommendations to DGT about the implementation schedule, the technology, and the regulation framework for realizing MNP in Taiwan. This study will also investigate how to manage number resources. Including the functionality of an entrusted third party, as well as a charging system. The purpose is the make the distribution and management of number resources as fair and efficient as possible.
