No, a complete street address portability system.

Assuming that I live on 1337 Main Street, I should be able to keep that
address even if I move to a different part of town, and I should be able
to use it for all purposes, including when I give my home address to a
cab driver, and it should just work.  Why can't we get some reasonable
legislation like that enacted?

Just wait till customers start wanting to take their IP address with them when they move...

When that happens, I hope there will be a new generation of suckers to fix it.
