<pre wrap="">I've actually thought more about it (i didn't get to go to the presentation as I wished)
The ability for a web rp to know that a carrier is attesting to an openid that is implicitely bound to a live sim/phone registration is well worth having. That can always be traced back to the phone num (and legal person), as and when necessary. It brings a whole slew of useful legal processes with it.</pre>

Absolutely! I think providers such as Orange of France are very serious
(or at at least should be). However I'm not sure to which extend they
are willing to provide that information or what their policy is. It
might be that a public directory of their users exists already now...so
only the nickname would have to be combined with the number or
identity. But your question previously was very good in that, if Orange
believes in fully in OpenID as is....as I mentioned earlier, if there
will be only big providers which allow login to their own facilities
only with their own provider (as I would do as well), than perhaps
there is no case for OpenID's so called "openness"....or is there? <br>
