I disagree. While it's obvious that in developing countries email
often is the only way to access the WWW, don't forget mobile
phones/devices. There are very few WAP sites and I haven't heared of
www4sms anytime yet. So email is a way to access non-WAP site on
phones.

Subject: The relevancy of the internet over SMTP
Not only over SMTP. For 9 years my access was over dial-up UUCP.
I realize that only about 15% of the world has Internet access and that very
few of those people have a fiber local loop but even so,
many workplaces allow email access but not necessarily WWW access, so
here it is useful.
well it could be, if there were any good www to email servers still out
there.
