Reflections during a Peer 2 Peer Working Group in Fairfax, Northern Virginia. December 4th, 2000.

Jeffery Kay lead a discussion regarding where the Peer-2-Peer community has been and what the direction is when perceived from the technology point of view. The discussion centered around Intel's sponsorship of a WC3 like "standards" group for Peer-2-Peer technology.

My take on the discussion was that the "industry" thinks of Peer-2-Peer as a means to sell more computer chips. Of course, the ultimate way to sale more chips is to enhance the development of technologies that create value while increasing the demand for Computer Processing Cycles (CPUs). One may suppose that the greatest unmeet demand for CPUs is the management of human knowledge capital.
