This is to help prevent scams and will also help to prevent trolling, harrassment etc.

Sounds like a good idea to me. If people are prepared to do/say something on the interbet, they should be prepared to explain why they did it and face the consequences and I will be mentioning this when I am next in contact with Ofcom. They will no longer be able to hide behind some silly made up name, instead they will be personally identifiable and connected to any inappropriate behaviour.

When their reputation, education/employment opportunities are at stake, i'm sure that their behaviour will improve dramatically.
Or more probably to ensure dissenters can be identified and punished and free speech deterred.
