Some of that may have to do with Syniverse being the porting engine
for those 3.<br>

<div>I actually ported my personal cell number to Verizon from
ATT yesterday.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Gave the rep my ATT account number, He 30 seconds later
asked me for the PIN I set on my ATT account. I provided and
my number was working before I hit the door on the way out.
Total port time was <5 Min.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I questioned the Rep if this was always the case and he
said only if porting from Sprint/ATT/T-Mobile. And that
basically any other carrier (Not including MVNO's of the
above) took 3-5 Business days. Which is about in-line with my
current wireline porting.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I figure they all exchange so many numbers a day it was in
all of their best interest to work together.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Not to mention, By automating the process. They don't
have to keep an entire call center worth of LNP personnel to
handle their volume.</div>

<div>I think the incentive is to cooperate because it is a
relatively small group of wireless carriers compared to
wireline.
<div> </div>
<div>The main reason being that they don't want their ports
held up, so they work well with others.</div>
<div> </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>
