This is complex.  I know a little bit about MNP.  I think it is highly  
confused in its goals.  However, there is no way to advise these guys  
- they just are spending money and seeking bids, without getting  
graybeard advice from anybody who is not invested in getting lots of  
do-re-mi in future contracts.

The core idea seems to be that if you are incompatible with the  
Internet, you can be "secure".  It reminds me of when countries  
justified having different railroad gauges to prevent invasion.
