The internet is starting to get to the point that content providers will just push out more trash and less quality because the internet will not allow them to make a profit.

Maybe content creation will move to China & India, just like clothes, toys & electronics did in the past.

• In an average month, the top 1% of subscribers account for 25% of total Internet traffic
• In the upstream direction, the top 1% of subscribers account for 40% of total traffic
• A heavy user is responsible for more than 200 times the total bytes of an average subscriber

1. The network’s top users exhibit relatively little change throughout the day, with constant heavy usage; conversely, most subscribers pop online and offline throughout the day and over the course of a month.
2. Top subscribers still rely heavily on bulk download applications like P2P Filesharing, Storage and Back-Up Services, and News Groups – applications that are responsible for massive amounts of traffic with very little user involvement.

In 2009, networks are transporting almost 56% more data per subscriber to and from storage and back-up services than in 2008, led by one-click download services like Rapidshare and MegaUpload and continuing a trend that first came to prominence last year.

Storage and Back-Up services continue to gain more traction as subscribers embrace alternatives to P2P Filesharing networks such as one-click download services like Rapidshare and MegaUpload

The same data also reveals that as the observation window decreases, the total percentage of bytes attributable to heavier network users increases. For instance, the consumption kings for any particular day account for 30% of total bytes, and represent a distinct (but over-lapping) set of subscribers when compared against the consumption kings for a month or a week. Similarly, past research conducted by Sandvine has demonstrated that in any peak time hour, the top users during that hour are responsible for an even higher percentage of total bandwidth, but again are largely distinct from the consumption kings of the preceding month.

This info provides ISPs additional fodder to move towards per-byte billing.One possible explanation for decreased P2P usage.

One-click hosting

Badongo
MediaFire

Bla, Bla, and the list keeps growing.

The last time I used Ares or any other P2P, was back in 2005.

BitTorrent has emerged as by far the leading peer-to-peer filesharing network
