True, however, geographic addressing has some rather severe practical problems. The exchange point at the top becomes a single point of failure. So it needs replication. But then, there needs to be interconnect between the exchange points. Who provides it?
Another way to say it is that monopoly is necessary to take advantage of geographic addressing. Baby Bells do that now (with the area codes). I'm wondering what is their idea of migrating into competitive market (centralized database?) --vadim
