+-   Verizon & Comcast Say They Are P2P Friendly on Wednesday May 21 2008, @11:04AM Anonymous Coward

An anonymous reader writes "Verizon and Comcast announced they will not "block or throttle Internet traffic delivered via peer-to-peer networks" — essentially proclaiming that they are now P2P friendly. The decision came as a result of a test conducted with Verizon and Pando Networks, testing the benefits of a P2P/ISP partnership. During the test, the amount of P2P content delivered to Verizon subscribers from inside its network grew from 2 percent to 50 percent. This shows ISPs need to work with P2P companies to improve content delivery and manage traffic. Verizon also announced it will be looking at ways to use P2P technology to deploy new features on FiOS TV."
