IIRC the phrase started out as "IP over Everthing" back in the days when there was still competing network protocols and we were writing standards for IP over Infiniband,  IP over IEEE <blah>,  etc  since there were "competing" protocols  X.25 over blah,  IPX over blah, CNLP over blah, etc... and network adaptors were still fairly pricey.  At some point in the mid-90s the emphasis started to shift and we started thinking of almost anything being an "end point" and it became more "IP on Everything".

my english is not good, but doesn't "on" carry more significant meaning over "over"?
over only means that ip pkts get carried over (so the everything here only means different carrier)

with on, "everything" can have a much broader range, from your toaster to mars
