Hi,
Be careful with your wishes. "IP number portability", prescribed by the regulation authorities, would be the end of the Internet routing as we know it.
Once again: I've been been around more than long enough to know that "IP number portability" is rubbish, and I apologise if my statement was interpreted that way. I was however hinting towards a comparison of DNS-records and phone-numbers wrt portability. Hence my suggestion that market regulators may want to look at the ways in which ISP's and others hijack DNS records, and otherwise makes it much harder than it has to be to move from one IP-block to another. Micro PI blocks should really have been a no-issue by now. Note also that ARIN limits PI to /22, although it's recently been discussed to liberalise to /24. //per
