That is actually the basis of our startup is that we can solve the congestion problem by swarming with other video viewers to require less downstream bandwidth usage
That's interesting tech, but I kind of feel like it's just postponing dealing with the problem.
The problem is anticompetitive behaviour from ISPs, and while this would make video streaming better, it would just allow them to be more abusive, while we try to fill the resulting gap with more technology. IMO we should be leveraging the Netflix situation to fix that behaviour.
Regardless, swarm-sourced streaming is something I've been fantasizing about for awhile and I'd love to see your source if it's open. You should definitely proceed with it regardless.
