Bittorrent is the right technology to deliver reams of data to multiple client. It's really good at that. I think it's about time that the media companies accept the reality. If they weren't such dinosaurs, they would have made the move along time ago. But they are dino's, so they will probably still resist to the end.

Seems like this an attempt to overcome "the last mile" problem by some player not the telco or cable company. Like the power company. Maybe the wireless could overcome the last mile as that's what it barely able to do anyway. But most major trafic after that must go fiber anyway. That even they would have to rent.
