He starts talking about the WAP which did not take off because it was not the web, it was an isolated island not quite the Web.

However, this has started to change. OpenId and more generally transportable identities should enable us to transport our identities and contacts from one island to the other. A tremendously important point for Tim. We should really get our data back!
