Hi, my company operates in the same area (viblast.com)

I would like to add on Rodi's answers above:

- Yes, for mobile (data-plan based) connections P2P puts a heavy load, but WiFi-connected smartphones/tablets are not a problem to serve.

- Latency is not the issue being discussed here (from the Twitter example above), even Twitch latency is no less than 12 seconds: http://www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/2j8b4c/has_the_strea... It seems that you are talking about asynchronous viewing, and that is something that can be made to work better so viewers at least watch with the same delay.

- The real value of P2P streaming is mostly seen by Broadcasters who wish to send their online linear signals at high and uninterrupted quality, but low cost as their traditional model.
