It already happens on mobile devices through APNs, GCM, and the like. Maybe mobile web browsers will have backing cloud services that use the mobile OS's recommended push server as a frontend to the mobile device? That doesn't sound like an ideal scenario though, considering that then the cloud service would have an enormous amount of user data going through it.

- domenicd 12y agoThat is how the Push API works as well. In fact usually developers will be using APN or GCM when they use the Push API.
