Future of Numbering WG Nationwide Number Portability (NNP) On November 16, 2015 the FCC sent a letter regarding nationwide wireless number portability to the NANC Chair which directed the NANC “to study the regulatory and consumer issues that may arise in connection with allowing a wireless telephone number to be associated with any Location Routing Number (LRN), and the proposed solutions to each identified issue”.
