There are a lot of others.
Hopefully it will be adopted and become widespread. ISP and cell providers should get onboard with this. At least have it as a service option thing.
We used an app like the one SB described.
For the most part it was useful. These look good. There are a number of things parents and supervisors can do to manage underage access.
Pete these aps and programmes have been available for the last two decades. Using them is what a number of us here have done.. for a variety of reasons ... but its not the same as what you originally proposed.
Even if ISPs provided age based access restrictions, that would be on a case by case basis. Again it will rely on the person who is contracted to the ISP to pay for that option. As it relies on parents to manage their childrens access.
And no, Pete, I do not think what I do because there currently are no age based restrictions on age based access .. or bans on access based on the age of the user.
