UK mobile number porting creaks: Arcane system shows its age

Re: Why oh why etc.

Surely it's time for the UK to have a Mobile "Transco/Network Rail" that owns all the infrastructure and data and the "carriers" could just be billing agents? As well as sorting this load of old b*ll*cks it'd mean that we'd have consistent carriage over networks and could plan future enhancements in a meaningful way.

Yes, a good idea. It would help if this new organisation covered fixed-line porting as well, so we shouldn't use the word 'mobile' in their name. Perhaps it should be named something like the General Call Handling and Querying company or GCHQ for short?
