There needs to be Web services clients, but I do not think they will reside on consumer machines. I think consumers will access the likes of Yahoo, AOL, MSN, each of which will in turn aggregate content from multiple providers, which they already do, but increasingly using Web services. Most of the content will be provided/accessed through pre-arranged partnerships. I do not envision a large amount of ad hoc use of Web services.
Where I am a consultant (Philadelphia, mid-way between New York and Washington, DC), I am finally seeing the interest in SOAP and Web services picking up. However, in all cases so far, it is for the purpose of application integration. Some large corporations I work with are most interested in using SOAP/WS internally to integrate their own systems, although their initial exposure was connecting to partners who were early adopters. I also work with a number of ISVs and ASPs who simply see SOAP/WS as another technology by which to expose an API. They have all found some usefulness to Microsoft's DISCO or WS-Inspection. None of them have done anything with UDDI. Of course, this might simply mean that they don't see an opportunity that is actually there.
