Maybe that threat will keep them honest?

Is P4P an open standard? Will P2P client authors be able to create P4P clients?

I downloaded Ubuntu 8.10 a couple weeks ago. I left my computer on all weekend, serving 16 copies for the 2 I downloaded. Occasionally I looked at the peers that were connecting to me. They were from New Zealand, China, Brazil.

That didn't seem too efficient when, I bet, they could have used distance to choose better peer arrangements.

You mean in the same manner that ISPs are so "honest"? LMAO. You're living in a dream world.

I think they'll roll out P4P as the "Supported" peer to peer standard and then declare the "old" P2P as a violation of TOS, etc and therefore justify "Network management techniques" to block/filter/reset "old school" P2P. Problem is, almost certainly the "new" peer to peer standard will come with built in baggage like DRM or etc
