What is the general consensus of this group regarding the "portability" of addresses in the 204/8 and 205/8 range?

Portable addresses is an illusion, as it does no scale.
Give me a call when you convinced the phone_company to make my phone number work in California.
--Peter -- End of excerpt from Peter Lothberg
The California PUC has approved local phone competition within California, with the requirement the phone number portability (between carriers) be fully implemented as soon as possible. Making your phone number stay the same no matter whether you're a PacBell or MFS or TCI customer is exactly the same problem as making IP addresses portable... just wait until ISPs are regulated, and they get the same mandate. -matthew kaufman matthew@scruz.net
