Lawerence Roberts criticizes 5% of users for consuming 80% of network bandwidth and he just he happens to sell equipment that allows ISPs to fix the problem.
It's an odd juxtaposition to have created something essentially for the purpose of sharing data and then later try to inhibit communication between those who do it too often or share too much considering they pay for the privilege of doing so.
Such is the dichotomy displayed by Lawrence Roberts who, along with Leonard Kleinrock, Robert Kahn, and Vinton Cerf, created the ARPANet, which was the predecessor to the Internet as we know it. For at GigaOM's Structure 08 conference he roundly criticized P2P traffic for consuming an unfair share of available network bandwidth - 5% of users consuming 80% of bandwidth.
Luckily though, he just happens to own a company called Anagran which just happens to sell "Fast Flow Technology" to ISPs that allows them to "effectively mange 100% of P2P traffic.
