Kind of funny to write that. Near the end of the article comes a very interesting point though. With the higher penetration of broadband and the coming of FiOS in places, I think the writer is correct when they said:
I’m open to the possibility that I’m dead wrong. I don’t know, maybe Cuban is right. Maybe BitTorrent is in fact doomed, and the video streaming technologies he pioneered with Broadcast.com in the 90s will make a major comeback. I mean, who uses BitTorrent these days? Just a bunch of pirates, soon to be exiled to metal platform in the middle of the North Sea. Right? Right.
Remember that place? I guess they will be the only ones soon using p2p on their old oil rig platform. The pipe is getting bigger, and the days of p2p will be taken in a different direction. Technically Speaking, the way bit torrent worked, it took a ton of patience, which I have very little of!
