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. -matthew kaufman matthew () scruz net
Sure...people dial phone numbers...on the Internet, people access services on hostnames...apples and oranges... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Smith ** awsmith () neosoft com ** Network Operations ** (713) 968-5800 ** "The best way to predict the future is to invent it" - Alan Kay ** ** http://www.neosoft.com/neosoft/staff/andrew ** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
