Re: A little convo from AT&T I don't even know what your last post has to do with the previous ones, but I'll answer you anyway.
P2P stands for "peer to peer". However, you are obviously taking that at face value, suggesting that connections between peers are actually point-to-point, with no "middlemen" inbetween. If you're only sharing files between users on a private LAN, then sure. However, if, like most people, you use P2P applications over the Internet, then you are most assuredly traversing the networks of AT&T, Verizon, and the like. These "megacorps" aren't just now trying to get between P2P users. They have always been between P2P users. They are just working on technologies to increase the efficiency of P2P protocols on their networks.
Now, what exactly are you arguing about? Or did you just type a knee-jerk response to a valid critique of your post? |
