Is TCP applicable only for Intranet?
The answer is: it depends. As far as I know, WCF’s binary encoding requires both endpoints to be WCF endpoints (which would currently limit you to Windows unless/until Mono supports binary encoding). The other issue would be whether or not you can reach the port on which the remote server is listening. One of the reason running services over HTTP has become so popular is that port 80 is much more like to be open.
