The Electronic Communications and Postal Regulatory Authority (ARCEP) of Togo has launched a public consultation on plans to introduce mobile number portability (MNP) in the country.
The consultation runs until 3 November 2021 and forms part of ARCEP’s preparations to increase competition in a market dominated by two players – Togocom and Moov Africa Togo. In a statement the regulator confirmed: ‘Portability will offer consumers the possibility of changing operator, while keeping their number with their original operator, in the event of dissatisfaction with the quality of service or to benefit from better offers and prices available from the competitor. In this sense, it constitutes a real lever of competition to boost the market.’
