I noticed an inter­est­ing news on the VNUnet web­site titled “Bit­Tor­rent unveils con­sumer elec­tron­ics SDK”.

If you go through the arti­cle you will find that the peer to peer soft­ware devel­oper has released an SDK to allow inte­gra­tion of Tor­rent tech­nol­ogy into con­sumer elec­tron­ics device.

Well, actu­ally not really new. There are already some devices that inte­grates Bit­Tor­rent or other P2P tech­nol­ogy. (Exter­nal Disks, NAS, etc.).

Apart from any tech­ni­cal con­sid­er­a­tion I am won­der­ing if this kind of appli­ca­tions have a space in the mobile market.

The main issue is always the same old one: with­out a flat data plan it will be use­less and too much expensive.

This post is mainly a ques­tion to myself and I would be happy to hear any com­ments from you guys out there.

Actu­ally I see some inter­est in the dis­tri­b­u­tion tech­nol­ogy itself even if I think that cel­lu­lar net­works archi­tec­ture is not really the best for this kind of applications.

    I have a ques­tion too about the “all devices tor­rent ready” sce­nario regard­ing the ital­ian fixed telco infra­struc­ture: do we have enough band­with? Is the infra­struc­ture build to sup­port such an exsten­sive usage of the lines?

    (I guess that the same doubt applies to a mobile network…)
