This smack of LCR operators trying to protect their revenue base and not panic companies that are using LCR at present.
Churn rates are likely to be high and LCR operators are going to have a difficult time determining the lowest cost method to switch calls, they're not going to admit this as it would be a catastrophy for their main revenue source!

Du Toit cites convenience as a major factor in determining churn rates. “Over 90% of new connections across the board every month are pre-paid customers. These consumers have no need or desire to go through the hassle of porting. They will simply throw their old SIM card out and get a new number.”

What a load of bull.
Yes, convenience is a HUGE factor, but nothing is less convenient than changing your number. Appathy is a much bigger factor than anything else.
