Network World Fusion 06/20/03

Eric Norlin reads some tea leaves and sees a battle brewing e-commerce as it relates to digital identity - especially given some recent announcements from Microsoft and Verisign:

"There is a battle brewing: And I'm not talking about the one between WS-F and Liberty. I'm talking about the general unhappiness that is becoming evident around the way the major credit card companies are conducting themselves. Merchants (like Amazon) are now openly talking about revolt. ...

"My gut says we're going to see the 2 Nets develop over the coming years. One will be the Net of today --- blogs and websites and anonymity. One will be the Net where transactions take place: focused on identity. I'd rather see a harmonious solution of convergence -- but it isn't looking promising."
