The Consumer object can be passed and received from a web service also.
The real difference is:
1. Web services use only XML SOAP serialization over HTTP, and are
hosted in IIS
1.1. They are good for sharing data between different platforms.

2. With remoting you can also use a binary serialization (much faster)
and TCP channels, also much faster.
2.2. Proprietary channels and formatters, so good only for .Net
client/servers.

You can control the serialization both in remoting and web service, so
you can get what you need.
