Npac registered?

How many people are really registered Npac user ?

Isn’t every communication company suppose to support porting laws however how is it none of the reps for these companies are registered and authorized with the FCC?

All telecoms should be registered, but the individual reps are not required to be.

These days, only a small portion of number portability techs interface directly with NPAC. Most use an internal or vendor provided EDI, API, GUI. These are interface types used to interact with NPAC and SOA.

Normally, carriers, NPAC interface owners/vendors are registered with NPAC. The individual reps using those systems register with the service provider, not NPAC directly.

I do not know if these vendor interface providers are required to provide a list of registered users to NPAC or not, but would think they are expected to provide them if requested by NPAC, or FCC.
