Comments on: Verizon teaming up with P2P companies, Yale, to make file-sharing faster http://boingboing.net/2008/03/14/verizon-teaming-up-w.html Brain candy for Happy Mutants Sat, 18 May 2013 13:10:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: bardfinn http://boingboing.net/2008/03/14/verizon-teaming-up-w.html#comment-143370 bardfinn Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-143370 Which can also be read as "Verizon is teaming up with Yale to design P2P technology that stays inside their network, dramatically reducing the amount of money they have to pay to other networks for traffic across those networks, and building towards yet another walled garden scenario where they are the gatekeepers and can suppress P2P traffic that doesn't play ball."

If Verizon is doing this to make things cheaper for themselves, who cares? If they don't end up restricting people on networks that don't "play ball" and just greatly prefer people that are on their own network, more power to them. But don't do it at the cost of speed either. As long as this is an innocuous attempt, cool.
