Mobile number portability (MNP) was rolled out all over India yesterday. It's a lovely thing. Imagine if your network sucks or your service provider gives poor service, till this MNP came along, you were stuck with the same provider or else you switched to a new one but with a new number. You had to tell all your contacts about your new number. This MNP is truly nice.
But then, one good turn deserves another. I was thinking what if a similar service was available. What if a woman could return (exchange) her husband for another one while retaining the same last name? Wouldn't that be nice?
I can imagine a conversation as follows:
"
How are you Mrs Bachchan?
I am fine.
How is your husband? Did he come to Cannes with you..
Well he doesn't like going abroad
His "what an idea sirjee" advertisement was great
Well he is not really into ads. He goes more by word of mouth
What is Bombay like, Mrs B?
Well I am in Chennai now..
"
and so on.
and so on.
Isn't this discrete? Isn't this lovely and desirable? So much inconvenience can be avoided. When will this LNP (Last name portability) be introduced?
