P2P Remains Dominant Protocol

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the way-the-data-crumbles dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Last week, a press release was issued by Ellacotya that suggested something quite startling — HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, aka Web traffic) had for the first time in four years overtaken P2P traffic. However a new article from Slyck disputes this, and contends that P2P remains the bandwidth heavyweight."

    "4. London - tube. No coverage. Whatsoever. The sole reason that our best beloved Mayor is a greedy c***. London tube refuses to put DAS or picocells because they want to give it exlcusively to a single operator and shave the profits. There is a ruling by the competition comission that this is not acceptable so the tube simply does not put any access in. Result - no access. 3G or no 3G."

    Yeah, well, there is that and a cell phone is a great way to set off a bomb remotely. That's what happened in Spain and continues to happen in Iraq. Although being a cynic I think your reason is the real reason.
