I guess his point is that you can easily create multiple gmail accounts by inviting yourself over and over again, so that you can then sign up with all these accounts for the Hellgate:London beta and have a higher chance of getting one of the beta slots.

Apple TV to be a Centrally Controlled P2P Network? 165

Posted by Zonk on Friday February 16, 2007 @03:04PM from the lean-on-your-neighbors dept.

Rolgar writes "PBS' Bob Cringely theorizes that since the Apple TV will be an always-on device with a 40GB hard drive, Apple may move to content distribution via a P2P network. The ISPs will incur higher bandwidth locally, possibly lose some subscribers to cable TV, but have fewer costs through the Tier II Internet backbone providers. Bob also expects that Google will be involved with their fiber network and advertising expertise, and my hope is that they'll bundle in YouTube content as well. The article suspects that they won't get around to announcing the full details of this plan until they hit a half million units or more, and that this Apple and Google pairing will become the equivalent of a cable TV provider with almost none of the infrastructure costs. Eventually, he hopes, we'll see a real HD revolution from Apple and Google for this service." If Apple rolled something like this out to the service, would you bite on it? What would it take you to move to this over Tivo or MythTV?
