Question about CompressedProxy

Is it really necessary to explicit apply compression?

By default the network communication is using the browsers network stack, so I would think that compression is applied automatically? (If the web server has compression enabled)

Creating a compressed proxy is just one option. It might work to use IIS/HTTP compression, though that doesn't work with all technologies and I haven't tried it with WCF to Silverlight. And it would work to go purchase a compressed WCF channel as well - I know there are some for .NET, and I assume there might be some for Silverlight as well?
