In theory, the underlying carriers (UCs) whose facilities those 
providers use are required to allow the port-out, and so is the ITSP.

Recent FCC rulings clarified that numbers cannot be held hostage to 
billing disputes with the ITSP, and that the end-user is the logical 
"owner" of that number even if purchasing from a reseller/ITSP and not 
directly from a carrier.

This is all in theory.  The point is that if you ask if you can port 
out, you'll be told yes.  In practice, it may be a different story.
