I disagree. Plain HTTP is being eschewed and HTTPS is now considered "table stakes" to put up a website. Telnet is effectively dead; SSH is the preferred method to log into a remote server. This was not the case in the Clipper chip era. Plaintext (non-SSL/TLS) SMTP, POP3, and IMAP are effectively dead. Yes, quite a bit of stuff isn't encrypted yet, but it is obvious to me we are headed for a world where the majority of traffic is encrypted and plaintext is the exception not the rule. -- Shawn K.
