Removing anonymity won't be easy.
The origins of the net were in a time when it wasn't a concern. If you were on the net at all, it was assumed you belonged there, and knew how to behave.
Removing anonymity now would require all points of entry to validate the identities of those coming in. I simply don't see that happening.
