Perhaps before proposing a solution we should make sure that all the facts
are in evidence.  I might suggest since at least some of the legal documents
are available to you at the url below you take time to read them.

Its not clear at all that what the courts are proposing is that the customer be
allowed to keep the addresses forever, just that they have adequate time  
for an orderly move.  Its also not clear that NAC won't receive comensatation 
for use of their resources.  I think those people who have done service provider
moves realize that without the help of their old service provider
their life could
well be hellish.  If the requirements for the lack of IP portability are indeed
purely technical and not some effort to hold onto customers then service
providers have a duty to make almost any reasonable effort to make the 
transition as painless as possible
