Re: His only valid point said by Maxo:that he didn't make is that the technology will need to mature some. P2P via Skype and The Venice Project work smoothly enough that the EU doesn't even know if it's P2P or straight from a server. None of his points accurately reflect these two applications. He brings up the latter and then drops it. If P2P becomes pervasive, the ISPs will all either have BW caps or start charging by the GByte.
P2P works right now because most people don't use much BW. If the BW usage goes up, somethings gotta give. |

1 edit | With legitimate video stores launching using BitTorrent, they face the ire of network neutrality politicos.
In the past they could argue these were all pirates, but not much longer as mainstream video use soars.
The answer is to upgrade the @#$! network. Video and bandwidth intensive applications are not going away. I think companies that try to cheat their way around upgrading capacity will pay for it..... |

Tallahassee, FL | said by Karl Bode:The answer is to upgrade the @#$! network. That's pretty much it. ISPs are going to have to get used to the idea that their customers are no longer looking to the internet just for web browsing. Once users start demanding more bandwidth (not larger pipes but more capacity on the network) and most users have a choice between cable and DSL (and hopefully another technology) ISPs will pony up.
