Cross-commented at P2Pnet:CacheLogic sells "Routing and caching appliances focused on reducing the burden of P2P traffic" to ISPs, taking their data seriously seems a little misapplied. The data comes from PowerPoint presentations used to sell their products. The methodology of their "study" and the resulting data is not independently verifiable. In a follow up email after a telephone interview with Mike Godwin, legal council for the EFF, Andrew Parker of CacheLogic stated: ?Despite not feeling that our reports have been verified by 3rd parties. I would suggest that your statement surrounding ?figures taken from marketing literature? to be stretching the truth somewhat. I said I would not argue that the numbers had not been verified and would not constitute an academic weight study, and as such I would not present it as a complete study of P2P activity on a global basis. The figures presented are not marketing waffle and our ISPs would not participate if they felt this was a) a marketing exercise or b) that the data was inaccurate.?link: <a class="user" href="http://www.godwinslaw.org/weblog/archive/2005/04/29/my-interview-with-cachelogic">http://www.godwinslaw.org/weblog/archive/2005/04/29/my-interview-with-cachelogic</a>
