As a systems/network administrator, let me briefly describe why this will not work. Firstly, you fail to account for the following:

- Roaming customers

- NAT

- Visitors

- Armies of worm riddled Windows boxen

Can't really argue with the bit about Windows (parably broken or not), but I'm talking about a progressive futuristic system wot relates to back in every case/moment to unique individuals (whether human or not) and where "anon" and "fake" (etc) is not a permitted part of the system.

Sure, not workable ATM, and prolly never due to more standard human nature.

What amuses me the most about all this "waa, waa, waa"ing (deem suitable snippet of Dr Cox from TV series "scrubs" for a visual, included) about "oh nos, my internut is going slowz and the govenment is out to get me" going on , is that it shows how unimaginative and useless most of its users are.

The reality is that should our big bad government (don't blame me, I didn't vote for them) slap an (predictably ineffective) filter (et al) upon Oz, then before you know it, a whole bunch of folk will get off their butt and make a better way of avoiding that mouse-trap.

And not before time, too.

Unfortunately, this means that the evil bad elements will also enjoy the improvements ... but they always have, yes ?
