...or even more usefully, that mobile phones might act directly to prove their owners' authorisation to access resources, spend money, or undertake other acts -- rather than provide poor proxy "identity" measures as second-hand proof of the same.

"Is the mobile phone going to be more important as an ID card than as a credit card?"
Yes. It is. That has been my contention for six years now.
The UK government's plans for an ID card that 80% of us might have in 2022 are redundant. Despite my pointing this out for six years, strangely, they pursue the plans.
So do the governments of several other countries. They're all wrong.
