Re: Erroneous assumptions
said by TamaraB  : Right, they care about customers actually using the bandwidth they were sold. No doubt they (marketing dept.) oversold their(network operations) capacity.
It's a situation where they need the income to increase the network, and the high demand is driving them to do so, but demand rises faster than the physical network buildout can occur.
The desire for higher speed drives their business (otherwise we'd all still be on dialup)
for some there will never be fast enough speeds, and the need to "manage" consumption will always be needed.
P@P will never reach the point of ultimately undetectable, and unstoppable.
The fact that there are 28 or more commerial entities competing to detect/block P2P shows how much money is available to the business end. can the P2P crowd afford to continue their side of the "war" with the few (so far) legitimate business oppertunities (ie income producing) for P2P apps?
As you point out the cold war became largely about money and ended mostly due to bankruptcy of the soviet bloc.
