Here's an idea, I'm not sure if it could work.
Set up a small "verification company" (or maybe even
non-profit org). For a small fee ($50/month?) you could have
your contact information entered, and the company would randomly
check it frequently (once every 2-3 weeks?). Failure to have
current contact info would result in a penalty ($5000?) to stay
in the program.
Then, networks could require as part of peering agreements
and such that both sides participate. For their $50/month each
side knows the verification company has current contact info, and
they can get it from the company via web sites or monthly news
letters.
It's a very rough idea, but is there a business model and
support for such a thing?
