 The
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ordered that the wireless
telecommunications providers support nationwide roaming, Wireless Number
Portability (WNP) and Number Pooling by November 24, 2002. This MBI Administration
Web site has all the resources required by wireless service providers
who will participate in this industry expansion.
The first six-digits of the Mobile Identification Number (MIN), called
the MIN Block Identifier (MBI), has traditionally matched the NPA-NXX
of the Mobile Directory Number (MDN). To meet the new FCC requirements,
the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) and the
wireless carriers, through an open forum, came to consensus on the need
to separate the MIN from the MDN and to procure a neutral third-party,
Solusur, to administer MBIs
in this new environment.
