Some can barely afford a cheap prepaid phone to make occasional calls, let alone a landline to tie up 24/7. Even then, running a web server is not trivial for most of the general public, a dial-up or DSL line is unlikely to come with a static IP address, and if folks don't know how to run a webserver, they certainly don't know how to set up a hostname with dynamic DNS.

No. You're talking about that. My point was much more basic.
Anyone on 56k isn't going to be able to use tor or i2p or any of the other services any better. But unlike hosting from home those things all add overhead data use too. The majority of people in industrialized countries have a megabit or two.
As for "My point was much more basic", it doesn't count if you edit your post. That's a real jerk move to do after someone has already responded.
