I think it remains to be seen that that model will actually change dramatically to more of a "semi- real-time" model, regardless of the desires (or fears) of various vendors or operators.
Hmm...I should have been more clear. I'm comparing the options a video guy has : buy transit to distribute the videos, buy CDN services, buy a mix or transit and peering, or use P2P. I have sample configurations and cost models for each, and cost them in units of $/video distributed for side to side comparison.
From the reviews and discussions it was interesting how entrenched and enraged some people became when the p2p distribution model costed out to be the cheapest by far:
Well, cost issues speak for themselves. Adoption issues, of course, are another issue entirely. :-) - - ferg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.5.2 (Build 4075) wj8DBQFFo+1gq1pz9mNUZTMRAqOdAKDtm916QwEqKlrPbEBNVgD0QjI4egCgvLmv M0LDP50+LZEfR/IlrIfk0vM= =PVII -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
