It's always funny to read about P2P TV being sold as the cutting edge in the western world, when in fact China has been using P2P TV since 2004. I've used both PPLive and SOPCast to varying degrees of success in the 'states and according to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PPLive http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PPLive) PPLive reported 105 million monthly active users in december 2010, so it's no small phenomenon. The interesting question is which components of the media environment in China allowed for the growth of such technology well ahead of western users.
