Of course this leaves us stuck with Verisign being the single vendor and the single point of failure. No doubt they're going to price themselves accordingly once they get a commanding share of the token market. And, of course, they're sure to protect our records and not resell that data. Um, yeah.
Ideally, you could use any token that met the standard. Buy your own, or the company you need to use it will will sell you one (perhaps subsidized or free depending on their business model). It could easily be rolled in to the setup fee on your checking account, for example.
Smartcards aren't particularily expensive these days.
