“Antel has a negative balance, it lost more portings than it gained. There is no transparency,” she continued.
Barra 1 (Port-in) are ports that are won.
Bar 2 (Port-out) are ports that are lost.
Bar 3 is the net balance (wins minus losses).
Antel has a negative balance, it lost more portings than it gained.
These figures were not made public. There is no transparency.– Silvia Nane (@SilviaNaneFA) June 22, 2022
The answer was immediate and was head of the National Directorate of Telecommunications and Audiovisual Services (Dinatel), Guzmán Acosta y Lara, who responded to the senator through the same social network. “Are you showing this data to try to cover up the good results that portability has given people?”, she replied.
The mobile phone market as of December 2021 is 4,691,277. Do you think that these numbers reflect or affect the market? on the other hand, do you is showing this data to try to cover up the good results that portability has given people https://t.co/m6ZegNAjad

It is not the first time that there have been crosses between the ruling party and the opposition on number portability. The Broad Front (together with the PIT-CNT and other social organizations), even promoted the repeal of the article that enabled its implementation and that was part of the Law of Urgent Consideration (LUC).
