UK phone number transfers between networks are handled through a Yahoo Group

This isn&#x27;t so crazy. Oil traders use Yahoo Messenger [1] [2].<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=11826186" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=11826186</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bloomberg.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;articles&#x2F;2016-06-01&#x2F;oil-traders-may-be-the-only-people-who-want-yahoo-to-thrive" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bloomberg.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;articles&#x2F;2016-06-01&#x2F;oil-trade...</a>

Not transfers, but rather notifying the other carriers of new number range assignments so they can condition their switches to route them. Not as bad as it sounds.

This is a tweet about a tweet...the link should be changed to the original tweet instead of the current link.

I like the tone of this paper:<p>&quot;A review might consider whether it is befitting for the world&#x27;s sixth largest economy to manage critical national infrastructure via a Yahoo group but we would hope that is obvious.&quot;

I hope they change before Yahoo Groups deletes all content in December!<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=21269614" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=21269614</a>
