Phone Number is a Scarce Resources
In the energy terms, we know well that the oil is a non-renewable resources. It means that it will extinct in the future. In the area of telecommunication, we were frequently informed about radio frequency as a scarce resources. In this case, we have a limited resources that can be used as telecommunication media.
The radio frequency for communication is available from 20 Hz up to 300 GHz. Although it seems we have lots frequency spectrum, not all of them are economical. We still have to find out the best technology for some frequency spectrum.
While radio frequency is applicable to radio communication (cellular, satellite, microwave etc) only, there is one more resources that we are limited for all type of telecommunication technology,- radio communication, wired, etc, namely the phone number. Although we can have unlimited number, it’s cumbersome if we have to use a very long phone number. Currently the shortest phone number in Indonesia is 5 digits (wirelined), while the longest one is 14 digits !!! (cellular).
As a good citizen, we have to monitor the use of scarce resources. Regulator on the other side has to manage them. Without cooperation on both sides, we will experience unoptimized resources. So, don’t mess it up, manage it in orderly manner.
