Well, already the majority of Internet users get a different IP
address every time they dial in.

At this point I'd almost welcome such a legislative proposal, so I
could go to my congressman and complain about the lack of portability
of zip+4 codes.  I'm moving my business base in a couple of weeks, and
the Post Office is forcing me to renumber.

Well, actually, they're not.  I can still use the old zip+4 if I want;
my mail just won't get to me.
