MMS cannot be built just making use of an internet connection as it requires the reception of WAP Push notifications and because MNO may require the use of an specific APN for MMS.

I have taken the MM4 interface as an example that MMS can be
transported on SMTP. It is obvious that MMS cannot be *implemented* as
email, the MM1 interface is still there of course :). The point was
they will share mostly the same attributes in a WebIDL interface.
