I guess I am not that crazy after all when I think of this and this. p2p for content is the future, IPTV is just the start.

At least Robert X. Cringely think so too, quoted "... How big a data center do you need before you realize that no data center is big enough for some applications? Only a server-server or peer-to-peer architecture makes sense in the long run... ...Google and its distributed shipping containers might be right for this moment or next, but they can do the math and that math tells them that pumping tens of millions of simultaneous HDTV unicasts from a Google server is no way to make money. It is much better to use Google servers to seed video content, which is then shared by many peers...."

Rob did a much better job laying out how the market model works using Grid Networks (never heard of and can't find link.....) and iTunes as example.

Since I am heading to China soon, maybe I should really try out streaming TV from home in Ottawa to whereever I am. It will be cool to watch TV from thousand of miles away.
