Then blame the government because telco's didn't used to allow number transfering. Then consumers complained and the government made it mandatory.

They didn't allow number transfers between carriers, but they did always allow number transfers within carriers AFAIK. Perhaps there was a time when numbers were hard tied to SIMs and I'm too young to remember?
