The CNMC published its analysis of two Ministry proposals on numbering optimization: one addressing geographic numbering by reallocating resources from nomadic services to fixed telephone service with a six-month transition, and another requiring M2M services to use exclusive range 59 numbering from July 2026, phasing out mobile numbering by 2031. The measures aim to prevent premature exhaustion of mobile numbering and ensure capacity for connected services growth. CNMC endorsed both proposals while recommending clarifications to the regulatory framework and operator access criteria.
