This document provides a historical as well as practical overview of
the implementation of Number Portability (NP) Administration in the
United States (U.S.). There are various regulatory constraints that
establish relevant parameters for NP implementation, most of which
are not network technology specific. This document describes the NP
business model and the architecture for NP administration in the
North America. It also briefly discusses the functions performed by
the NP administrator and the cost recovery mechanism.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
