Email Address Portability - A Stupid Idea

This morning, I saw an article on CNET, "FCC Asked To Mandate 'Email Portability'". Unlike telephone portability, this is just STUPID. Why would I want 'someaddress@aol.com' forever? If I want an email address that is truly mine, my own domain is a better idea, which is what I have. It is truly portable, and it is mine. I don't know that any given domain (except mine) will last forever. If I pay for mine each year, it is mine to use as I want.

The CNET article provides several reasons why this is just idiotic and silly.
