gizmodo.com — No, p2p is no longer the single biggest traffic whore, responsible for only 20 percent of total traffic. It's streaming video, like YouTube and Hulu, which is now 50 percent of total traffic. Which explains Comcast's flip on network management and why it's a total smokescreen.

It's kind of like those ads where the bitch would say 1# medicine recommended by doctors, till Congress made them stop saying that. I imagine it'll come to a head where ISPs can't say it anymore either. Hell, I don't think anyone downloading 200gbs a month should bitch @ all $10s a GB. That's alot of movies!

Anything can be proven with statistics... 40% of all people know that.

Like dropping in ads localized by IP address is difficult? No it's more than that. It's the same reason why non-Americans can't purchase TV and movie content through iTunes, which has nothing to do with ads. It seems more like a desire to control who can see what and when. I have no problems watching ads to subsidize viewing a show and until the networks realize that I'll be visiting other sources for my online content distribution.

traffic compression doesnt help much and adds more costs in terms of CPU load and power consumption, things that really do cost money
