Motivation

Or a chest of gold for those who can master it?

There seem to be two dominant views about peer-to-peer technology

Is it the open sea for the pirates?

Motivation

Both are wrong

Peer-to-Peer technology is an ALTERNATIVE, which is and will be used when feasible

Conclusion

P2P is becoming mainstream and being incorporated into an increasing number of applications

P2P has to consider all members of the value chain to be successful

P2P offers great opportunities of increased efficiency, development and can reduce barrier to entry

Peer-to-Peer technology is an ALTERNATIVE, which is and will be used when feasible
