[ NNSquad ] Re: [IP] Does AA VoIP usage violate the "federal Internet policy"

[Stefano Quintarelli <stefano@quintarelli.it>]

It seems to me there's an implicit assumption in this debate, that if  
you are able to "manage" P2P, traffic will decrease.
I tend to believe that if you "manage" P2P, traffic wil take other  
forms (ftp, http,.. whatever)

this is something that, to my understanding, apparently is starting to  
happen with
- some web-based email services. "signaling" and "trust" are built on  
some outside networks (forums) and transfer happens via email  
(generally served from a different country)
- some online storage services

I think the decreasing cost of storage and large pipes is contributing  
to this.
Should we inspect people's emails ? Are we sure P2P is *The* problem ?

I'd love to read your comments...

best, s.
