I do not think it will necessarily replace it. It is just aimed to enhance the web. Web 2.0 is a term describing the trend in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aims to enhance creativity, information sharing, and, most notably, collaboration among users. These concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies. The term became notable after the first O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004.[2] [3] Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specifications, but to changes in the ways software developers and end-users use the Web. According to Tim O'Reilly: “ Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform.[4] ” Some technology experts, notably Tim Berners-Lee, have questioned whether one can use the term in a meaningful way, since many of the technology components of "Web 2.0" have existed since the early days of the Web.[5][6] Hope this helps.

Thank you too BaileyCows for this very clear a concise explanation of Web 2.0. So it is the effective use and not an upgrade as the term normally conotates.

Theoretically, web 2.0 will free up more IP addresses. I don't know about Egypt, but in actuality it will be a gift to the major ISPs in the United States. They can totally regulate content and speed on web 2.0. America is looking more like China all the time.
