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.

I don't see it as being anything that Cisco can deal with. Probably the IETF would be a better place... Or, to put it another way, you can already advertise /32s using Ciscos. If people listen to them, you have portable single IP addresses...
