Seems to me that the more that this kind of technology gets incorporated into more "mainstream" applications (yeah, I know, more people probably download video from BitTorrent than use Wikipedia, but...), the higher the likelihood we will start seeing last mile network issues, and the more motivation for things like ALTO and DECADE.
Does anyone know if any of the folks working on this (I know we have some P2P-Next folks, or at least folks who are in touch with them) are on the ALTO list? If this gets incorporated more widely into Wikipedia in the future, this may be a very nice open, public source of data on the problem, and possible test bed for the ALTO work as we move forward. Thanks for sharing the post...
