Indonesia mobile number portability legal and technical議論

Overview

Indonesia is facing a legal and technical debate regarding the implementation of mobile number portability (MNP). The Ministry of Communication and Digital has expressed readiness to comply with potential Constitutional Court rulings following a judicial review. The petitioner in the case argues that current telecommunications laws lack effective guarantees for users to retain their mobile numbers when switching operators, which may harm consumer rights.

The Indonesian Association of Telecommunications Providers (ATSI) has noted that implementing MNP would require “fundamental changes to the national telecommunications architecture.” According to ATSI Chairman Marwan O. Baasir, the transition would necessitate significant shifts in technology, investment, regulation, and infrastructure due to Indonesia’s unique numbering system that distinguishes between fixed and cellular networks.
