If you compare internet routing and PSTN "routing" seriously you've never worked with at least one of them. PSTN "routing" isn't, number portability takes days to deploy, PSTN doesn't have efective multipath and please do take a look at the portability mechanisms.
Indeed - but playing the devil's advocate: if people want PI to avoid renumbering, they don't need millisecond switchover time - they want to move to a new ISP "in the time range it takes to setup a leased line"... A number portability scheme similar to what the Telcos have to do *would* work, but it would not be the "dynamic Internet of today".
