Well ISPs are going some way towards doing that anyway.

Part of the reason for ISPs using CLIDs is so that the person logging on the net can be traced back to the phone number.

The subtlety of SAFECHAT is that the child has their own ID key which is used in conjuction with software which will allow access. Each person will have their own ID key and therefore will identify each person individually.

The ID key can only be issued by an authoritative party such as the school so therefore the validity of that user is identified with that phone number.
