Are you volunteering to call my grandma and walk her through setting that up? Are you also going to pay the yearly domain fees? No? The legal framework needs some work.
- layer8 5y agoSeriously, the domain fees shouldn’t be an issue. And while registering a domain and connecting it to a suitable email provider is a bit more involved than setting up a new phone number, it’s not that complicated either. People without any technical affinity will need help with both. I agree though that there should be legal resort to not losing your email address.
- stickfigure 5y agoAre you suggesting that everyone has a legal right to a free email address? Phone numbers aren't free either, a phone line is way more expensive than a domain. If you think there's real demand for email portability, go into business! A service that lets you buy a domain and route to different email providers is well within the abilities of a single programmer. Make the UI idiot proof and charge a few bucks more than the registration fee.
