"NTL, the largest broadband provider in the United Kingdom, will be testing the file-swapping service as a way to deliver video more cheaply than traditional downloads. Another company, called CacheLogic, will add its data-caching technology to improve the network's efficiency," reports CNet.
"The deal is the first public step forward for BitTorrent's hope to turn its technology, widely used for swapping illegal copies of video, into a tool used by movie studios and ISPs for legal services."
Comment: Both Sky and the BBC are already using the Kontiki peer-to-peer file sharing system to distribute video. See Ask Jack (Sky by Broadband) for more information.
