Engineer, thanks for the explanation of IP addresses. I've been waiting for a few years now for the time when telephone numbers are a thing of the past and we instead call engineer@person.com or <www.engineer.Q which, as long as it's a unique name, will find you wherever you are, be it the 14th at Bridges or in a 747 enroute to Tokyo to help NTT DoCoMo figure out how to run cdma2000.

Mine will be simply www.Mqurice.person or Mqurice@person.com which should be unique. Of course, James and Suzanne Person will have an odd name JamesPerson@person.com but I'm sure there'll be an easy way of getting unique identifiers.

People can remember very few phone numbers, but thousands of names. If names are similar, the Web could give a choice of closely matched names.

PS: What about Nokia whining about anti-democratic auctions for 3G? I guess they know that in a free market, W-CDMA doesn't have a show and they need government help.

Engineer. Thanks for the explanation of available internet addresses. I am not totally clear, but my take based on what you said is that the problem has been addressed. I guess the next issue is whether it will be implemented in time---and surely, with so much at stake it will. I suppose this means that the net will function a while longer without a massive switch to 64 bit computers.
