WTF is the authenticated web?

This article presents a version of what must be an advertiser's dream: an 'authenticated web' where the user must be logged in (and typically a paying subscriber) in order to access online content. This (frankly) is exactly what we don't want a distributed identification system to amount to, but as this article makes clear, publishers and advertisers would very much like to use identity to lock down the web.
