Centralized services are such bad models too. Imagine if YouTube came out with a Miro type player that allowed everyone to cache videos and sever then to others. No more waiting to buffer a video you&#x27;ve watched ten times. Google&#x27;s sever usage would drop.<p>But there is so much money to be made by restreaming that video every time...with ads. Plus how could Google enforce deleted videos or marking then pirate if there was a local cache.<p>The price of bandwidth is cheaper than telecoms are letting on, yes. But there is so much that can be done to streamline the existing architecture as well.
