For all of my personal machines and the notebook I use at work, I use linux ( Redhat 8.0 ) but my office is almost entirely a win2k network. Since my arrival I have slipped in a few few linux server, plus linux on my notebook and have slowly planted the open source seed in all the right (upper management) places. With microsucks new subscription based extortion...i mean...licensing policy. My case suddenly has become much stronger and we have got the greenlight to create a plan to replicate windows services and deploy it everywhere...from the server room right down to the desktops. The only real stick in the spokes so far seems to be exchange and Blackberry servers. Hopefully we will have those resolved soon.
An interesting approach, however I am fairly certain that an artists copyright has been violated when his/her ( or prince's ) music has copied and redistributed.... wether or not it is listened to is irrelivant. I must however applaud the effort.
True, napster users suck up a lot of bandwidth but that is one app. DCC Chatting with mIRC is P2P but doesn't consume anywhere near the True, napster users suck up a lot of bandwidth but that is one app. DCC Chatting with mIRC is P2P but doesn't consume anywhere near the bandwidth that napster does.
There are also plenty of server based apps that use as much, if not more resources, streaming audio webcasts of radio shows for example.
My point was P2P is just another connection...what happens once two machines are connected, who knows. It cannot be said that P2P apps increase the cost of anything.
I recommend spending the next 6 years alternating between being very drunk and very stoned, skip college all together and spend the money on beer, drugs and women of questionable character. After sobering up and taking inventory of your new tattoos and STD's get a job working on a help desk, work your yourself near to death to advance and learn new technologies until you too are a burnt out but highly paid technology professional.
First off, I am hearing P2P referred to as a new technology?!?, This is not new. P2P applications have been around for a long, long time.
That aside I don't really see how a growth in the number and usage of p2p apps will cause any substantial growth in the cost to ISPS. Greater usage of these types of applications does not indicate an inherent rise in the number of people online at any given time, or in the amount of time they spend there.
It's really just a question of where they point the bytes, to a web server, or to a desktop in a barn in Iowa. An ISP is really nothing more than a bit courier. It really makes no difference to them where the data goes to and comes from. They just care that you fork over your twenty bucks a month.
There is also the growing shift to direct broadband providers to consider. With this type of connection the users are always connected so time spent online is not really an issue.

It worked for me
Good luck!

Well that's my two cents
