<div>Market positions change, and one year your on top in a given market, and then the next year your down.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think that building the automation and good faith, go longer in ensuring a positive customer experience in both the loosing carrier as well as the winning carrier.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A customer may leave your wireless service because of price or phone/feature, and you may get them back if you offer a better price and/or feature, but if you block the port out and play hard ball, you will probably never win them back.</div>

<div>I think the incentive is to cooperate because it is a relatively small group of wireless carriers compared to wireline.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The main reason being that they don't want their ports held up, so they work well with others.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also since there is a small group they could automate the back office processes between them and submit the request and aknowledgment quickly and without human interaction.</div>

<div class="PlainText">This does raise, in light of the OP, the question of what economic or
<br>
political incentive wireless carriers have to cooperate in relatively <br>
seamless porting to/from each other.<br>
