Tech/Engineering - Telecom(munications)
French term or phrase: attributaire
The specific context is coordination among mobile operators in routing calls to ported subscribers (subscribers who changed from operator A to B but kept their number, which was in the block of numbers originally assigned to operator A). Unfortunately, my research has confused me rather than clarified what the term might be in English. The source text below:

"Un processus spécifique été mis en place pour la gestion des incidents liés à la portabilité des numéros mobile. Les pleintes peuvent provenir soit des clients, soit des autres operateurs. Le problème peut être dû soit à des erreurs de provisionning chez l'operateur >>attributaire<< de sa tranche MSISDN, soit à un problème réseau chez A our chez l'operateur >>attributaire<< de la tranche MSISDN."

Yes, this industry term does suit the context. While "allot" and "assign" are telecom words, especially in frequency licensing and number assignment, I knew this was different, but wasn't quite finding the word. There's lots of support for this usage in technical and regulatory literature. Many thanks!
