I have an account with them. And they're already doing it for my TV channels. They're also providing a reliable 100Mbps link 4 miles from the nearest sewer pipe. Seems like they could handle 50 lines of code to parse logs and disb

Yes, a product that "just worked" for the largest emerging P2P market plus making money while doing so is the important part. Not accepting advance payments for shady cruise ship rentals or any of the other fringe stuff that leaks
