The BadVoltage folks at least touched one area which I consider crucial, "buy-in". I think they are right regarding Google, PayPal etc. These guys already have established solutions that are convenient and scales well. In addition they can (at least Google and Apple) roll-out security solutions that the traditional players can only dream about. IMO, the only way to get *any* buy-in from the traditional players is providing a useful login solution to banks. That may make them interested and then they can take on a next step which obviously is much more difficult. My 2 öres. Anders > > -- manu >
