We not only need more roads but also, better traffic signals will play key role. Many of the media are delivering via peer-to-peer networks.

Our objective is always an overall reduction of "byte miles". By adding the right intelligence to the end nodes, we have shown it is possible to optimize traffic to the point that broadband video can, indeed, become a legitimate new mass medium that someday challenges conventional television. But GridNetwork's streaming technology differs from the bittorrent-based file swapping systems generating lots of traffic right now, and that's where those of us in the P4P community (we are core members alongside Verizon, Pando & others), expect this work to help out. With dynamic optimization innovations like ours already at market, and easily-adopted optimization schemes like P4P coming to market very soon, ISPs like Tiscali actually stand to benefit greatly from the use of P2P over the coming years. Copyright issues may forever remain a spirited topic within the bittorrent community, but I suspect that network managers minding the bandwidth will soon acknowledge P2P as the preferred technique for propagation of bulk data like video.</p> Years ago GridNetworks recognized that “network friendliness” was a key criteria to market acceptance of any commercial P2P technology, and today our traffic profile is very different than conventional P2P delivery systems.
