[governance] 32-bit Number Portability - Beware People Think They Own ALL Variations

[Jim Fleming]

There can be trouble in paradise, beware. Some people think (actually they
do not think)
that they own ALL variations of a 32-bit number in use anywhere on the
planet. They really
have amazing narrow minds. The good news is that they are being quietly
de-peered and
moved to Virtualization. Their addresses are not fully routable, never were,
and they are stuck
in time. Route around them.

One easy way to route around them without paying any address space taxes is
to take the
prefix for your little island nation and convert it to 11 bits, insert it in
DDDD.DDDDDDD below
and add YOUR 32-bits and register it in the FREE dynamic DNS.

6:247     WS   (SAMOA)

01.01.DDDD.000.DDDDDDD.0.1.<<<<32 bits>>>>.0.000000.0.1.DDD

.WS is supported in commercial off-the-shelf WIFI routers that you can buy
for about $60.
You register your unique 8-letter name based on 4-bit symbols under
DYNDNS.WS.

The .WS determines the 11 bits above. 6:247 is 0110:11110111. You may have
to use
"scientific mode" on your desk-top calculator and convert decimal to binary.

Once you have your unique 64-bits, then you can use them as you see fit.
Beware, there are
people who think they OWN all variations of some 32-bit values used anywhere
on the planet.
They really are out of touch people stuck in time. Despite that, you can not
be too careful.
If you observe some of those people in public, you might think it is Charles
Manson's twin.
You really do not want to be around them when they go bizerk about what they
consider to
be their numbers. One good thing about meat-space is that people get to see
those people
first-hand, in action, and there are no cages around them. Beware.
