This is already happening. BT broadband, for instance, are blocking all outgoing pop3 emails unless you register the email address/domain with them so that they can associate every email address with your account.
How long before you are blocked from using these accounts online, or before you have to register every user-name on every forum?
So what next? Register all your contacts with Royal Mail in order to get your letters delivered?
Electronic tags for all? Not allowed out of the house until your destination is registered? Not allowed back in until HMG knows where you've been?
