Verizon Works With P2P File Sharers
While some ISPs have banned, blocked or slowed peer-to-peer traffic in their efforts to keep the flood of music, video, games and software from overwhelming their networks, The Associated Press reports, Verizon has broken ranks with the industry and is set to announce Friday that it plans to help its users share files faster.
This announcement is meant for Verizon users on the desktop, not Verizon Wireless users on their cell phones. But it foreshadows the kind of thinking that could eventually let Verizon and other cell phone carriers lift bans on activities such as this on their cellular data networks, which are far more restricted in their use than desktop cable and DSL connections.
