Can you use WCF data services (ne OData, ne Astoria, ne ADO.NET Data Service) with NetTcpBinding?

I'm looking to create a WCF service to query data over a slow satellite connection, and I really like WCF Data Services. The problem I see is that HTTP is a very verbose format, and since everything I do is internal and .NET, is it possible to use NetTcpBinding instead to reduce some of the overhead?

Is it possible? Goodies?

No, WCF Data Services is built on top of REST, and REST itself is very closely and completely based on HTTP verbs such as GET, PUT, POST, etc. - You cannot run them on top of NetTcp because they are associated with the HTTP protocol stack.

Perhaps there are other options to reduce the transmitted data? Pull your objects - cut fat, if you can - both by the number of lines received immediately, and by the number of transmitted attributes / data fields. You are probably the most promising approach.

Studying this on my own, I looked at the MSDN article DataServiceHost , which still requires HTTP (it is derived from WebServiceHost).
