New plan for phone numbers considered

Regulator eager to avoid early move to 11-digit numbers, which would be costly
The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission is expected to announce a new telephone-numbering plan next quarter, aiming for more efficient usage.

The NBTC is concerned that if usage of mobile-phone numbers is not efficiently managed, it will soon have no choice but to introduce 11-digit numbers. This would entail a large cost for telecom operators, so it wants to put this off for as long as it can make the existing system work.
