Scaling. Your proposal makes every message go to thru one single
machine, bringing it to it's knees. Now or tomorrow. Or yester-

point home:
By having the phone number as part of the domain name, you can have
different paging servers provide service to different sets of telephone
numbers. Since this reflect the currently reality of paging operation,
it is an essential requirement for the Internet interface to it.
