I actually, kind of, agree with the fact that people will want to have
their own private globally unique block of "Private Internet Addresses",
you know "PI Addresses". The current routing model though does not
support this.

For these people I suggest they look at things like ORCHID / HIP.
As these will provide people with the properties they are looking for.

People seem to also confuse telephone numbers, which they can keep since
a few years, with IP addresses. They are not the same. DNS is what you
keep and what is independent from anything. And telephone numbers are in
effect, inside the telephone system, also DNS entries.

Greets,
