HTTP uses TCP/IP, not UDP/IP. Your comment was
"If it doesn't work over IP
then it isn't the internet". If you'd like to change that to "If it
doesn't
work over TCP then it isn't the internet", fine. But it probably wouldn't
be difficult to run the Wave protocol over UDP. Then you could send one-way
Wave updates through a one-way satellite feed, or a one-way OTA feed. Add
in a low-bandwidth or intermittent connection to send in the other
direction, and you can get an email account better than most people had in
1995. Remember when BBSes used to subscribe to UUCP email?
However that has expensive upkeep costs and is reliant of functioning
infrastructure. Books do not stop working just because somebody broke
SAT-3/WASC.
