Oh, no, this one again.

  *** The Internet Is Not The Web. ***

Could someone put that onto a t-shirt ?

If it becomes normal for home users to only have 80 and 443, then how  
can I innovate and design something that needs a new protocol ?  What  
happens to the new voice and video services for example ?

They stop fixing stuff when they stop working.  If you start running  
vpn services on tcp/80 (yuck, yuck, yuck), and naturally because it's  
the only port open lots of other non http protocol stuff does too,  
will filter-happy domestic providers start proxying the web instead of  
just filtering the rest of the traffic ..?
