Comment P2P Implementation Problems are Surmountable (Score 1) 113

Any computer has the capapbility to run services that client applications can connect to. For example, software for chat servers running on top of Win98 is out there, game servers are packaged with certain computer games, etc. What is lacking is a means with which PCs can be allocated FQDNs (fully qualified domain names) that remain constant no matter what IP address is allocated to it. Home PCs connecting to the Internet do so for a short period of time through ISPs that allocate only a temporary IP address to them. I think a bunch of companies are already working on certain services that can solve this problem. So, actually, P2P problems are resolveable. Whether the average Joe would actually run these services on his home PC is a totally different matter.
