About the talk:
 

Traditionally, Internet Service Providers see both P2P technology and community networks as threads to their business. This work first discusses an approach that allows ISPs and P2P users to cooperate for improved performance. This approach even allows ISPs to offer a global coordinate system. Next, I will talk about how ISPs can bundle the capacity of broadband Internet access connections to improve their users experience. Finally, I will present the ideas of the EU project Trilogy, which aims at re-architecting the Internet.
