December 26th, 2007 — P2P Technology
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.

Web 2.0 is all about participation and sharing. P2p is also exactly about participation and sharing.
Every user gets to become a server and contribute to the community. Every user can simply share his files across everyone on the internet very easily.
P2p trackers are now capable to tracking usage data and then rating users. Leechers will be banned, seeders gets rewarded automatically, users who maintain higher ratios can download more files.
There are many communities that have evolved around p2p file sharing. P2p combined with social networking is taking shape now. Allpeers, a firefox plugin is the best example.

Peer to peer file sharing was considered and illegal technology cos of its wide spread use to distribute files with copyright without getting caught. Napster, Elitetorrents, bittorrent etc are some of the examples. Many illegal p2p companies were closed after long legal battles.
Inspite of all these problems the community adopted the technology because of its use and efficiency. Now the technology has become stable and secure and more and more companies are looking forward to the benefits of P2p technology.
Joost is a system for distributing TV shows via the internet using p2p technology. The company already signed agreements with some of the major production houses in the US for distributing TV content.
PeerCast allows streaming of radio and TV content. Using this technology anyone can become a broadcaster.
Bittorrent is the most popular keyword in the p2p industry. Its a protocol for file sharing as well as a company. The company has now agreements with major studios to sell their content. They have evolved into a paid site from where the users can download content via p2p technology by paying a small amount.
