The current policy has reserved 30% of the available numbers in the 9x series for operators with less than 30% market share. In any case the number reservation plan is useless once we have number portability in place. BTW, 80,81 & 88 series are already operational (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_telephone_numbering_in_India) The market share data mentioned above is rough approximation based on P 72 of the TRAI report: http://www.trai.gov.in/WriteReadData/trai/upload/Reports/48/IndicatorReport1oct09.pdf) Wouldnt it be better for everyone if the DoT simply dereserves the 92 (Tata), 93 ( Reliance), 94 (BSNL) number series.

Given the fact that we have got number portability, going for 8 series is better than moving to a 11 digit number. This would atleast save the unnecessary confusion to the 500 million population.
