2.8 million people take advantage of number portability

The FCC says that since November some 2.8 million people decided to take advantage of the new rules for cellphone number portability and switch carriers or move their landline number to a cellphone. Which sounds like a lot, except that the cellphone companies usually get a pretty sizeable number of people switching anyway. For example, just last month 614,000 people switched carriers and didn't take their numbers with them.
