cybersky-TV

This sounds too good to be true and also like a million clueless lawsuits waiting to happen: Cybersky is a P2P system for distributing TV broadcasts in near-real-time. It’s in closed beta right now but, once open, will allow anyone to broadcast through the network, and that includes traditional channels including Pay-TV. I really believe the future of the net is from content generated at the edges. The challenge will be persuading the carriers that the centralised assymetrical model is a dead end, not an easy task when facing control freaks.
