If we were still calling central and asking "Hi Mabel, can you put me
through to Doc," no one would give a rat's ass about phone number
portability. Notice that no one is getting worked up about circuit
number portability.... or street number portability. Thanks $deity.
That's the canonical argument against address portability -- you can't take your street address with you when you move.
( I suppose now would be a bad time to point out I have a portable ZIP code: it's mine for life as long as I pay for the service it came with, no matter where I move. )
