“how you are connected” plus “no conflict” is a fairy effective ad-hoc method for establishing trust. E.g., for a very long time, ISPs have used the fact that you are connected to their network as a basis for authorizing your DHCP transaction. If the ISP is doing the front-end naming, then that mechanism could work here as well. If someone else is doing front-end naming, then you probably have to have put a credit card in somewhere…
