Arguable email addresses now are more important, that phone numbers. Mobile carriers are legally required to allow you to port numbers. We need a legal framework that allows to have inalienable email addresses.
- GuB-42 5y agoOr government issued email addresses tied to your identity, either as a citizen or as a registered company. Due to the decentralized nature of email, you can't have inalienable email addresses except within a domain. But you can register your own domain, and then, it is tied to your real identity and you can transfer it between registrars, which may be closer to what you had in mind. Most registrars provide an email relay, so that's probably the best you can get.
- YeBanKo 5y agoTo register a domain, you need an email. Phone numbers are as decentralized as email addresses. Obviously the current scheme is not gonna work and there has to be some sort of centralization. I don’t think email service issued by the government is the best way, but a dedicated domain with email relay that get an address at and then can you an email provider of your choosing.
