Au contraire.  It will be considered niche/specialty and made
unavailable in traditional packages.  If you want anything other than
port 80 you'll have to upgrade to the 'curmudgeon edition' which offers
NNTP and gopher and FTP, but costs quite a bit more.

If you want access to any non USA/EU sites, that will cost more as
well, actually.  Hell, they'll segregate these markets down to the very
last domain, and charge accordingly.  Scumbags.
