Comments on news posted 2008-09-06 10:56:48: Video site Joost launched successfully but then had to severely scale back plans for growth due in part to the fact that the service’s bandwidth consumption caused problems for many people during beta testing. ..

Joost will use P2P plugin to browser

The fact that Joost will still use P2P as the delivery mechanism and not just streams from a Joost server makes it a non-starter for many people.

Users will still be required to download a plugin that facilitates P2P transfers of files, which is still an adoption hurdle.
I don't want to be a server for other people to watch TV. I prefer to use my limited upstream bandwidth for my own use and not for other people. Especially with more and more ISPs instituting bandwidth caps and priority schemes for people overusing their upstream bandwidth.
