All I can figure is that it must have something to do with advertising. There's already a well established ad infrastructure built-in to the web. Otherwise, I can't make much sense out of it. It's a 180° from where I want to be going; the Web is a desktop technology, but relatively speaking, tcp and udp are lean-and-mean communication technologies.

I want to be running my own light weight walwart push server that is my instantly-connected proxy workhorse. It can filter and ping the crap out of other poorly implemented services for me. I want more fine-grain control of how I use my battery and CPU. I can't see WRT being that answer. But I can see the big players, Nokia included, wanting their own piece of push services. How much longer can the cellcos get away with being a messaging mafia?

Wow, I can't seem to stop this tangential ranting. Time for bed.
