Quick! Somebody propose a snail-mail portability bill. When a renter changes to a different landlord, his snail-mail address will be optionally his to take along, "just like" what is proposed for ISP clients.
No, a complete street address portability system. Assuming that I live on 1337 Main Street, I should be able to keep that address even if I move to a different part of town, and I should be able to use it for all purposes, including when I give my home address to a cab driver, and it should just work. Why can't we get some reasonable legislation like that enacted? --Johnny

Just wait till customers start wanting to take their IP address with them when they move... When that happens, I hope there will be a new generation of suckers to fix it. -- Leigh Porter

Oh wow, I think I've still got a log (somewhere) of all the dialup IPs I was assigned during the early 90s. Since I might be able to claim them first under consumer legislation.... This thread may be getting sillier by hour, but it's got some interesting suggestions tucked into it Gord -- currently drawing up a pre-emptive claim to about 88,234 AOL IPv4s and several thousand Demon ones, tickety-tick-tick

street addresses aren't so discrete that everyone doesn't handle them slightly differently. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_(geography) And over course if you want to totally overhual the way you do things you can just build your method as a hostile overlay on another system, there's a long and proud tradition of doing so.
