skype, the downside of p2p

om points me to an interesting post about peer-to-peer and the question if skype is misusing your computer. as a reader points out, this is of course the nature of p2p networks and skype explains it on their website. however, it goes to show that not many companies have developed a policy on (dis)allowing p2p technology to be used for voip, even though corporate usage is increasing as eurotelcoblog points out.
