Watching BitTorrent
penetrate
the game
demo market has given me an idea for a business model for
BitTorrent: charge companies for help hosting files via BitTorrent. It
could be a consulting business, teaching sites how to set up and
run trackers and seeds. Or it could be a service business, running
a BitTorrent hosting service for others. You could offer client
support, maybe custom-branded clients.
There may even be room for proprietary software
here: special trackers and monitoring tools.
I don't think any of this would be a huge business, but it'd be enough to fund BitTorrent development. Customers: anyone hosting downloads of more than 10 megs. |
