I's more like the internet is dying, and the web is killing it. Fewer and fewer networks allow more than outgoing 80 and 443 TCP connections. Fewer still allow any incoming connections. The standard way to send email now is connecting to a web site. Continue like that, and everyone will have to tunnel UDP over HTTPS to get anything done.

> Fewer still allow any incoming connections. Tragedy of the commons, too many people abused their freedoms and attacked other people. These days, having open ports on a machine that is not a dedicated server is asking to get hacked, plus that many providers don't even have enough ipv4 addresses any more to hand them out to consumers.
