Special. Delivery.

"P2P is where it’s at for online video these days. Not a week goes by without an announcement of a new P2P platform or distribution deal. It’s easy to see why folks are excited about this: distributed data delivery can save you a lot of money."

NewTeeVee lists no fewer than ten operators in this sector here.

Andy Plesser at BeetTV has more, including a re-published interview with the man behind BitTorrent, the technology which started it all.

And MediaGuradian has a summing up of all the Joost news here.

I still am not totally convinced about P2P beyond the delivery of files which are massively popular at more or less the same time. If I want to get Godard's "Weekend" tonight, how many active nodes will there be to share the burden? Not that many, I fear.
