>And BTW, phone number only sometimes -- maybe >even often, but not always -- maps to a specific individual... How many apps do you use on a phone or tablet? Lots and lots of them use your mobile phone number as the identifier, since everyone knows his own number, and mobile phones are quite personal. Of course, bad programmers are everywhere, and since my tablet has no phone number, well, um. I'm certainly not saying it's a great idea, but it's got plenty of traction.
