"Obviously, unmanaged IP services deal with impairments. Sometimes they have slower response times," Rice says. "Sometimes they have quicker response times. It just depends on the usage and the volume of traffic on the network at any given time. In a managed environment, throughput is the same all the time." : TRANSLATION - In the future plan on paying for for the ability to use P2P
then add in..
"That's not to say that the RBOCs won't someday offer P2P services themselves." TRANSLATION - By the way, the only P2P that WILL work is going to be ours. Everyone else will be throttled down to 5kb/sec on your 10mb/sec pipe.
then add in..
"I don't want to be too negative on peer-to-peer, because I think there's a place for peer-to-peer communications going forward," says Verizon's Wegleitner. "I think what we have to do though is make sure it doesn't ruin the experience of everyone else." : TRANSLATION - We've not figured out how to rape you for using P2P.. YET, but we're working on it.
Summary : We don't know how to charge you for P2P traffic yet, but once we do, you can only use OUR P2P service, you'll pay extra for it, and you'll pay by the byte.

1 edit | But by creating their own P2P network - are they in some way legitimizing file trading?
Edit: serious question, not trolling. |

What other point is there for P2P other than file trading?
And by legitimizing it, I hope you don't mean making the passing of illegal files legal. Distributing copyrighted material by P2P or any other means is still illegal and always will be until the laws change. This is regardless of what any network supports. |
