So the real question is: now that we managed to get the internet infrastructure to this point that it can handle this demand, aren't the current protocols (http, etc) a bit outdated? I mean, people are now using AJAX with Jason and Comet to create a virtual pushing protocol. Wouldn't it be nice of internet pages could actually have real push protocols? Ok, good point.

More bandwidth available means it doesnt matter if you've got a client checking to see if there are any messages waiting for it every few minutes. If I had twiterific open and checking for tweets every minute on a 33kbits dialup connection it would use a big chunk of my bandwidth but on my nive 10Mbits broadband connection it barely makes a difference.
