To another extent, this news is very good and confirm the efforts from my company to evangelize P2P since the very beginning and provide P2P Content Delivery solutions: peer-to-peer is now seriously considered as the main architecture when companies develop their online video distribution portal, while client-servers architecture are deprecated.

And of course it is not limited to video contents: you can use p2p content delivery networks for music, pictures, work documents, zip archives, programs …
