I absolutely do not understand what he means by p2p using more bandwidth. I think he is lying. Google will not get the thing it most covets - data. So it cannot sell ads on skype as all data will be shuttled through peer systems instead of Google servers.

- Hipchan 16y agop2p uses more bandwidth in a multi-user scenario. Don't think that's an invalid point.
- yalogin 16y agoI doubt that actually. Done right the bandwidth used should be less than in a client-server model. The idea is that the peers talk to each other directly and the data does not have to go all the way to the server and back. But I guess I was trying to say that he is not stating the real reason behind the decision.
