How are smartcards not practical outside of a controlled enterprise? The biggest issue I see is that most people do not have smartcard readers, but that could be fixed pretty quickly.

In finland there was an serious attempt to use smart cards for general populace. It didn't pan out mostly because nobody had card readers and it had to compete with OTP based solutions which didn't require extra hardware.
