This kind of a "you're different and therefore wrong" mismatch has made complete hash out of quite a variety of discussions concerning user experience and user requirements on the Internet. Please listen carefully when someone talks about having limited rate access. The assumptions that are obviously true in your (SP) world are completely irrelevant in theirs. If you want their opinions - and this opinion was explicitly requested - you have to respect them when they are offered, not just bash them as different from your experience.
I've always wondered what really makes P2P different from anything else on the Internet? From the service provider's point of view, users accessing CNN.COM is a peer-to-peer activity between the user and CNN. From the service provider's point of view, Microsoft and Akamai are peer-to-peer activities. Freedom of the press belongs to those that can afford to buy a press.
