I think he was referring to 802.1x being deployable (including
per-session keys & key refresh) and the timespan that people
are looking at {fixing,replacing} WEP. He's talking about making
the medium secure, but it may all be moot by then; hopefully
everyone that needs to will be treating 802.11 as an untrusted
medium (and running VPN/SSH/IPSec/<whatever over it) by then.
