It is important to remember that connectivity to the Internet will never 
be universal.  I say this not only because of the difficulty and cost of 
connecting the remotest locations, but also because in some environments 
it is a requirement to *not* be connected to the Internet.  One example 
of this phenomenon is the intelligence community, where connectivity is 
often prohibited (and which is also a huge market for Semantic Web 
technologies).
