TIFF is too complex to be a network standardized, platform independent graphics format. There are still many problems with TIFF files, e.g. working with adobe photoshop I discovered there is some kind of incompatibility with how IBM and Macintosh TIFF files are written and recognized in NEXTSTEP. 

I personally think PNG's loss-less compression, which is more effective than TIFF's loss-less compression, and its interlaced features is perfect for network image standard.
