p2p TV: term and benefits
The term p2p TV refers to peer-to-peer software applications designed to redistribute video streams on a p2p network, typically TV stations across the world. The draw to these applications is significant because they have the potential to make every TV channel in the world global.
The benefit of using p2p technology is similar to that of standard peer-to-peer software. Each user, while downloading, is also uploading, thus contributing to the overall available bandwidth. The video quality of the channels typically depends on how many users are watching; the video quality is better if there are more users.
Many p2p TV applications make use of the BitTorrent technology.
