P2p file sharing started a revolution in the way how we accessed multimedia content on our PC through internet. It was a truly disruptive technology and it changed the business models of the media industry.
P2p file downloading has become a very common activity. I look for files on a p2p network rather than searching in google. P2p downloads are faster than normal downloads. Also I like to watch the connection stats, peers etc, it gives me a really nice feeling.
The newest thing in the p2p scene is p2p streaming. Joost, a p2p2 streaming product is getting a lot of attention. Finally its looks like we have found a solution for the bandwidth crisis when we attempt true video on demand. Soon I will be able to watch live video on my laptop.
Now what is future going to look like for p2p ?
P2p has conquered the internet and the PC. Now it will come to our living rooms. The next p2p thing will be a p2p set top box. Live streaming and video on demand powered using p2p technology over an IP network. IP TV will need p2p technology to deliver content in reasonable time delays.
P2p technology will work better with TV when compared to p2p downloading because the number of people viewing the same channel in a locality will be many times higher than the number of people downloading the same file. So for a channel there will be an enormous number of seeds.
Companies making set top boxes and IP TVs should start looking into this technology cos this is your future.
