Haha this is laughable. Larry Roberts invented clumsy peer-peer networking. Although this was of course an essential basis of the net, and laudable in itself, it’s a bit like saying the Romans invented the motor car because they invented roads! The Americans just can’t stand (or understand) the fact that it was a Brit who invented the web. As usual they go on, and they will go on, believing their own propaganda.

Quite a few broadband ISP’s already have an established bandwidth cap on a per month basis. If a customer is paying for an allotment of downstream/upstream consumption it shouldn’t matter where the hell it comes from.

Remember that today’s heavy internet user is tomorrow’s average user.

Proof that people really do get senile with old age.

Why don’t we just revert back to the days of CompuServe? Would that shut him up? Email BBS and online shopping… that’s it. P2P is one of the primary reasons why people subscribe to broadband access in the first place. Even if you don’t hear the term “p2p” coming out of their mouths you’ll damn well hear “I want free movies and music like my neighbors get”.
