A while back, I notified you the reader about Malaysia’s foray into Mobile Number Portability. As one barrier tumbles, and while I still wait for the price war, I wondered if anyone wanted to start a service to analyse a consumer’s phone habits, and suggest which provider was the best for them. Since changing carriers costs RM25, I would suggest that you charge RM10-20 for this service. If you can convince someone that they could have saved RM20 per month if they maintained their usage habits but used another courier, then that would be a 240/45, about 500% annual return on investment.
What I wonder is why the carrier companies themselves don’t do this, to promote their products. Could it be that for every one customer they convince, they send one customer towards their competitors?
