Abstract
Peer-to-peer technology is a technology that uses a centralized system which usually carries a server/client relationship which is responsible for carrying the load of information for all connected clients. Peers from the peer-to-peer community connect to a central directory where they can publish information about the content they will offer the peers. In order to guide the research, there were three research questions that were focused on. Those questions were: 1. What are some of the possible uses for peer-to-peer television technology within the television industry? 2. What are some of the benefits and downfalls of peer-to-peer technology for the television industry? 3. How can peer-to-peer television technology change advertising revenue if involved in the television industry? Through these research questions, the results showed that there were many benefits and concerns for peer-to-peer technology being used within the television industry. Through the research it was also discovered that the internet service providers may also play a vital role in the regulation of the technology and how it is used.
