Well, no. Bittorent is not web, and it is huge. IMs are not web, and they are ubiquitous. Same with internet phone and video communication, which is mostly not web, even though it can be adapted to running in a browser.

Multiplayer gaming is most.definitely not web, and it's quite popular.

None of the above is esoteric; it's used by tens of millions to billions of people.

Of course the browser has eaten a lot, but there are still large pockets if the internet where it's not really adequate.

What do you mean mostly over? It's used to run the entire planet these days...how is that over? What am I missing in your comment?

Has AWS heard this?
