The ability to own a domain (eg.com) and an IP (12.13.14.15) exists- you can reserve one for over ten years at a time.In the US, some new laws exist allowing the right of telephone number ownership for cell phone accounts ( the right to transfer "your" number).But, what knowledge path exists allowing similar domain, and IP ownership security for US telephone numbers?Eg. 1.) I'm a home owner. I'd like to get a number first ( reserve ownership for 3+ years or so), then consider voip, or landline, google phone, etc later.Eg. 2.) I'm a business owner who would like to do the same thing. I don't even want to have to worry about the possibility of loosing my phone number.
