I know this is a hot topic for many and has implications for all internet users.
No "new policy position" is taken by raising this discussion.
WTT continues to refuse to provide direct "how-to" assistance for use of P2P clients. (A policy I heartily support)
This linked article provides good "news reporting with limited editorialization" which is a refreshing way to receive information in my opinion.

P2P consumes huge amounts of internet access bandwidth, possibly affecting us all.
SPAM still probably consumes more and may be a greater threat to smooth and speedy access overall.
Dire predictions of internet traffic jams and failure back to dial-up speeds has long been predicted.
Running out of IP addresses was thought to be a possibility prior to IPV6.
Now new predictions are pointing at new problems arising as early as 2012 due to steadily increasing numbers of users world-wide.
But P2P raises issues of contention about the ownership and fair use of purchased media.
What are your thoughts and opinions about P2P and both business-based and legal-based actions to restrict?
