Aaron mentioned an identifier that someone would give and it would be connected to all of the contact information associated with the person. I may have some insight on this.

I have not heard of this in regards to individuals, but I know that there is a similar program being used in Australia for businesses. It's called "the business number". It has become so popular that many (I think even the vast majority) only have the business number on their business card and allow the clients to find the contact information through the database. Clearly, the concept works.

We have something similar in Canada for taxes but it has not yet been extended to the general public (probably due to privacy concerns) and definitely not to private individuals.

Hey David,

thanks so much for your comments on the past two posts - it's nice to have generated some thought among the listeners.

As we have so few, the comments section has always been lacking a bit, so thanks for the comments.

I've gotta ask though - do we know you, or are you someone who randomly stumbled onto our podcast? 'Cause we always find it surprising if someone we don't know is actually listening. Pleased of course, but surprised.
