My two cents is that something like this won't pass until at least 2016 if not 2020. Jeff On Mon, Nov 22, 2010 at 12:11 AM, Ken Chase <ken@sizone.org> wrote:

When I ran a bunch of quake servers last century, I was endlessly frustrated by everyone using the IP addresses and never DNS. I have no idea why.
Obviously it wasnt too much of a pain to do that, cuz eveyrone did it for a long time.
So people will just use other resolvers, or direct IP addresses. (but then so much for http/1.0 virtual hosting, I suppose... not a big deal.)
Dont know what the next law will be - mandatory blackholing of IPs? So then the sites move randomly around /24s or /22s or whole /16s at ISPs. So then blackhole the whole /16 by law? That'll be an interesting internet.
