Mitchell Lazarus, writing at the Fletcher, Heald & Hildreth PLC ComLaw Blog, raises some interesting questions that flow from a petition before the FCC to ensure the portability of e-mail addresses.
The petitioner is looking to ensure that e-mail will follow when one changes Internet-service providers. “Specifically, the petition asks the FCC to require the old ISP to forward incoming e-mail to a new address of the subscriber’s choosing,” Lazarus writes.
