The people on nanog are not typical. I looked around for statistics and didn't find much, but it looks like only a few percent of numbers are ported each month, and it's often the same numbers being ported repeatedly.
It's a big issue for political pollers, and they have some data: http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/01/05/pew-research-center-will-cal... "roughly half (47%) of U.S. adults whose only phone is a cellphone." "in a recent national poll, 8% of people interviewed by cellphone in California had a phone number from a state other than California. Similarly, of the people called on a cellphone number associated with California, 10% were interviewed in a different state." So maybe 10% of all cell phones are primarly used in the "wrong" area? -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/
