Om malik isn't just another blogger. He is a well respected tech and telecommunications journalist.
He has at least one book published, has worked for forbes, been published at places like the wall street journal. His analysis is taken seriously by serious people. |

said by ninjatutle  :Who the heck is gigom? Another blogger? And they got their data by surveying a small software co?  Who the heck is the company? Someone who lies and makes up false data to appease their stockholders at the expense of the consumer?
I have seen many companies over the years lie or provide false data to shore up support for their ever-dwindling idea of fair use.
I don't trust the company itself anymore than you trust a random blogger to provide the information.

quote:
The P2P stats are the ones that came as a complete surprise. Like you, I have read many reports that suggest P2P applications account for the majority of the traffic on high-speed networks. But McPherson’s data suggests otherwise:
* 20 percent of traffic is P2P applications
* During peak-load times, 70 percent of subscribers use http while 20 percent are using P2P
* Http still makes up the majority of the total traffic, of which 45 percent is traditional web content that includes text and images. Streaming video and audio content from services like YouTube accounts for nearly 50 percent of the http traffic. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone — streaming TV shows from Hulu and videos from YouTube have been on a major upswing, as noted by our colleagues over on NewTeeVee.
also, please note this article is from April, so P2P is probably has even less of a share now. |
