Landline phone companies sue, don't want you taking your number with you
I didn't realize this was also going to be possible. That you could convert your regular home number into your cellphone number at the same time as the law changed which now allows you to take your cellphone number with you when you change your cellphone provider. According to this Wall Street Journal story (subscription required):
A trade group representing local telephone companies sued Friday to block a new rule that will allow customers to transfer their landline numbers to cellphones.
The United States Telecom Association said the rule, which takes effect Monday, gives an unfair boost to the wireless industry. The trade group had unsuccessfully lobbied the Federal Communications Commission to delay implementation of the new rule, and on Friday asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia for an emergency motion stopping the rule.
