+1 to that, a large defence contractor ran tests using XMPP services over 
various high and low frequency/bandwidth connections with no real problems.  

My opinion, based on experience. Most young developers familiar with HTTP just 
don't know about or can't be bothered to learn XMPP, they'd rather invent a 
totally new HTTP based platform, and the investment and IPO culture promotes 
this. You can't make millions building something on a standard protocol that's 
already in use, it's not novel enough.

However, conversations like this do irritate me a bit because XMPP is already 
successfully deployed to more end points in the corporate and government world 
than many would imagine.  Don't assume just because XMPP isn't pervasive in the 
consumer world that it's a dead platform.
