I just read and interesting bit of news about Version breaking from the big media ratpack and jumping onto the P2P bandwagon. They are putting forward and way to boost P2P file sharing through intelligent network management.
On the face of it, it seems that Verizon may have figured that dumping the big media companies of yesteryear and promoting independent produces of tomorrow could pay off for them in the long run (in the same way selling shovels and tools to gold miners during the gold rush days!). Maybe - just maybe - this massive 'alternate' business of the net is starting to think outside the traditional box. Though I have my doubts, but enlightened self interest and greed do on occasion work out in the customers favour (though very rare - but look at the net! Proof that 'new' really can win out)
It will be interesting how they figure out legal file shares, I think magnet link technology could provide a decent anchor to the system.
However, it could all the a way to localise and track file sharing (not a problem for us legal P2Pers) or it could be used to control traffic via some form of 'registration' to prove legality and thereby sneak back in the censorship under the guise of doing us a all favour. Time will tell.
