<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I would love to see folks hear that also blog not only continue to discuss federated identity but also consider of the course of several additional postings also talk about the need for federated authorization. Consider an example where a Doctor in a hospital is having an electronic interaction with a healthcare insurance provider. The hospital should be the identity provider while the entity that licensed the Doctor for given sets of practices should be responsible for certain forms of authorization.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">If we only talk about identity without authorization, the conversation will result in lots of great software where folks who create them won't make any money since consumer-centric interactions have volume without corresponding revenue. </FONT></P>
