Regulation on subassignment of E.164 numbers of the National Numbering Plan
Under the provisions set out in Articles 19 and 21 of Law no 5/2004, of 10 February, in its current wording (Electronic Communications Law), the provision of electronic communication networks and services in Portugal is free and only subject to the general authorisation regime, and may be based on the use of numbering resources.
Under the provisions of paragraphs b) and c) of Article 17 (2) of the Electronic Communications Law, ANACOM is responsible for managing the National Numbering Plan, following the principles of transparency, efficacy, equality and non-discrimination, including the definition of the conditions for the assignment and usage of the national numbering resources, as well as assigning the numbering resources in line with objective, transparent and non-discriminatory objectives.
As set out in Article 19 (3) and Article 36 (1 and 2), both of the Electronic Communications Law, the use of the numbers depends, in all cases, on the assignment by ANACOM of the rights of use these numbers, upon request by the interested parties. These rights may be assigned either to the companies that provide electronic communication networks and services, or to companies that use these networks and services, under the terms of the applicable legislation.
Notwithstanding the general conditions applicable to the provision of electronic communication networks and services, under the terms set out in the general law and Article 27 (1) of the Electronic Communications Law, the number usage rights can only be subject to the conditions outlined in Article 37 of this law, which aim to ensure the effective and efficient use of the numbers or their portability.
Currently, the assignment and usage of the numbering resources are also subject to the principles and criteria for management and assignment of numbering resources, approved by ANACOM, by decision of 2 June 1999.
In exercising its powers, namely, within the scope of maintaining the registry of companies that provide electronic communication networks and services, ANACOM has become aware of the intention of several companies to offer electronic communications services, through agreement, on the networks and services supplied by other companies, and who also intend to use, for this purpose, the numbers whose usage rights are – and remain – under the ownership of these other companies.
In general, these companies would present themselves to their customers as the service providers, and shall be responsible for its quality, whereby the customers have no contractual relationship with the companies whose networks and services underpin this service provision and which are the holders of the usage rights of the numbers in question.
This business model would allow companies that use subassigned numbers in the retail offer of their services to cut the costs of market entry, and especially the costs associated with the use of numbers, which makes it especially suitable for smaller-scale companies or companies that operate in market niches.
Simultaneously, given the interest also expressed to ANACOM by some companies in this type of wholesale offer, this business model could also create new opportunities for companies that intend to provide electronic communication networks and services as a wholesaler based on numbers, thus ensuring a (more) efficient use of the numbering resources that are assigned to them.
In this background and considering that:
a) these business models do not comply with the current principles and criteria for the assignment of numbering resources, whereby ANACOM only defines the primary assignment of rights of use numbers for companies that provide the service, and the secondary assignment, by the same companies that hold these rights, to the end users of their services;
b) the holding of rights of number usage, through compliance with the conditions that are attached to them, may be an inappropriate cost in some business models and a potential barrier to companies entering the market;
c) under the provisions of paragraph a) of no. 1 and paragraph d) of no. 2, both of Article 5 of the Electronic Communications Law, one of ANACOM’s electronic communications objectives is to encourage competition in the provision of electronic networks and electronic communications services, within the scope of which includes incentives for the effective use of the numbering resources and ensure their efficient management;
d) under the provisions of Article 5 (6) of the Electronic Communications Law, ANACOM must adopt all the reasonable and proportionally necessary measures to guarantee that any company can supply electronic communications services;
e) numbering, which is a public resource that ANACOM is responsible for, must not, in itself, comprise an obstacle to the provision of electronic communications services in equal conditions, notwithstanding the rights and commitments of the parties involved and the dissemination of information to defend the subscribers and end users; and
f) the subassignment of numbers is permitted and regulated in several member states of the European Union,
ANACOM believes it should allow the subassignment of E.164 numbers of the National Numbering Plan, defining for this purpose the conditions applicable both to the subassignment and the use of the subassigned numbers, encouraging and ensuring, in both cases, an effective and efficient use of the numbering resources.
In this context and by decision of 24 June 2021, the regulation on the subassignment of E.164 numbers from the National Numbering Plan was approved and submitted for public consultation. After publication of this project in the 2nd series of the Diário da República, on 14 July 2021, and after an extension of the deadline by 5 working days, the public consultation took place until 1 September 2021, with 9 comments having been received, which were duly considered in the approval of this regulation. The respective appraisal of the report that underpins ANACOM’s options is published on this Authority’s website, together with the comments received in full.
Therefore, this regulation rules that numbers may be subassigned and outlines the conditions to do so, also stipulating that the subassignment beneficiaries can only proceed with secondary assignment of the subassigned numbers, and that subsequent subassignment is forbidden.
In turn, with respect to the use of subassigned numbers, the responsibilities of the holders of the number usage rights and the subassignment beneficiaries are clarified, especially with regard to portability, also setting forth a number migration regime, which if the wholesale offer cease allows the beneficiaries’ offer to continue and the continuity of the service provided to the end users.
These rules not only pave the way for increased competition in the provision of electronic communication networks and services, and the freedom of choice for consumers, but they also make the regime applicable to companies that provide networks and services on E.164 numbers of the National Numbering Plan more transparent.
In this background, it is important to note that ANACOM believes that the option adopted in this regulation is more advantageous for the market when compared to the alternatives, especially the primary assignment of smaller numbering blocks, which in itself will be unlikely to limit some of the obstacles to entry into the market, especially obstacles deriving from the charges associated from the interconnection, opening of ranges and portability.
Furthermore, it is also noteworthy that this regulation only intends to clearly define the rules applicable to the subassignment as requested by companies that intend to develop new business models, without forcing the hand of companies that hold the number usage rights, who remain free to provide or not to provide wholesale solutions that include the subassignment of numbers.
The subassignment of numbers, as mapped out in this regulation, is also a proportional measure, insofar as the benefits it brings for the electronic communications sector, both as regards retail supply, and wholesale supply, and also the potential positive effects as regards competition, far outweigh any costs for companies, namely with regard to reporting information to ANACOM and the management and usage of the assigned and subassigned numbers.
In any event, the business of providing electronic communication networks and services should always be within the general authorisation legal framework, whereby all companies, whether they use numbers that are primarily assigned to them by ANACOM, or they use subassigned numbers, must comply with all the applicable conditions for this offer, in accordance with Article 27 of the Electronic Communications Law, namely as regards legal interception, access to emergency services and caller location information.
Therefore, a), c), d), f) and h) of Article 8 (1) and in exercising the power outlined in paragraph a) of Article 9 (2) and Article 10, all the ANACOM Statutes, approved by Decree-Law no. 39/2015, of 16 March, in the prosecution of the regulatory objectives set out in paragraphs a), b) and c) of no. 1, and in paragraphs b) and d) of no. 2, in paragraph a) of no. 3 and in paragraph g) of no. 4, all of Article 5, and in accordance with paragraphs a) and b) of Article 17 (2), Article 36 (1), of Article 37 (1 and 2), of Article 38 and Article 125 (1), all of the Electronic Communications Law, the Board of Directors of ANACOM, as per paragraph b) of Article 26 (1) of the Statutes, approved, by decision of 6 December 2021, the following regulation:
