By decision, Ficora may revoke the right to use a number or identifier if:
1) the holder of the right to use the number or identifier does not pay the fee for the
numbering decision;
2) the use of the number or identifier is against the numbering decision; or
3) the number or identifier is not taken into use within a reasonable time after the numbering
decision or its use has been discontinued, or the holder of the right to use the number or
identifier does not rectify his conduct within a one-month deadline in spite of being requested
to do so.
The right to use a number or an identifier may also be revoked for another similar, very
weighty reason relating to the clarity and efficiency of numbering or to the interests of the
users, if the holder of the right to use the number or identifier has been given a chance to
present his/her view on the matter within a one-month deadline. A consultation is not
necessary if the operator holding the access rights has discontinued its operations or the holder
of the access rights has ceased to exist due to some other reason.
Section 102
Obligations concerning telephone number portability
A telecommunications operator shall ensure without delay that a subscriber who has entered
into an agreement with the telecommunications operator may, if he or she so wishes, retain his
or her telephone number when changing the telecommunications operator providing the
service. The validity of a fixed-term communications service agreement concerning the
telephone number shall not release a telecommunications operator from the number portability
obligation. In a fixed telephone network, a subscriber number specific to a
telecommunications area may only be ported within the telecommunications area.
A telecommunications operator shall not charge a subscriber for the porting of a telephone
number to another telecommunications operator. A telecommunications operator may,
however, collect from the other telecommunications operator a one-off payment if the
technical process of porting the number generates one-off costs. The one-off payment shall
not, however, be so high as to deter the use of the service. In individual cases Ficora may
decide on a maximum amount of the one-off payment.
The telephone number portability obligation referred to in subsection 1 does not apply to the
telecommunications operator when the porting takes place between a fixed telephone network
and a mobile communications network.
A telecommunications operator in a telephone network shall, for its part, ensure that users
have access to a public, comprehensive and charge-free information service giving
information on ported telephone numbers.
Section 103
Technical regulations on telephone number portability
Ficora may issue technical regulations on telephone number portability.
Regulations issued by Ficora may relate to:
1) telephone numbers that for technical reasons are exempted from the portability
obligation;
2) technical implementation of portability;
3) routing calls to a ported number;
4) organisation of an information service on ported telephone numbers;
