Facing a peculiar situation of exhausting 10-digit mobile numbers, C-DOT, a research and development organisation of the telecom sector, is studying if the Unique Identity Number could be converted into mobile number.
The identity number could be the one to be issued by the government for which an UID Authority has been set up, or any other like driving licence number.
The situation has arisen in the wake of phenomenal growth in the mobile telephony with over 1 crore subscribers being added every month.
“We are carrying out a study to check whether some other ID numbers can be used as the mobile number. The current, 10-digit number will get exhaust soon. So we are looking at this–one number–concept where in a single number can be used for different purposes,” C-DOT Executive Director P V Acharya said.
