Number portability in my country is handled without blockchain. Granted, India's population is about 100 times larger. But I don't see a reason why a scale-up with a factor of roughly 100 would be prohibitively problematic.
- splix 6y agoMaybe it's not about transaction scale. And I don't really see how blockchain helps with scale, imho it's opposite. With this particular case, it maybe be solution to fight corruption (just a guess). Centralized trusted control of all phone number of a country is a huge power and a magnet for different types of corruption. So maybe the difference is that in your country the magnitude of corruption is lower than in India, or easier to handle because of size.
