In tests, Verizon boosted file transfer by as much as 600%.
"This test signifies a turning point in the history of peer-to-peer technology and ISPs," said Robert Levitan, chief executive of file-sharing company Pando Networks Inc. "It will definitely show ISPs that the problem is not peer-to-peer technology, the problem is how you deploy it. It is possible to deploy P2P to their advantage."
There are some major roadblocks, including dealing with pirated and copyright material, which accounts for a large portion of peer to peer downloads. Verizon has dismissed that concern by saying that "Verizon does not accept the role of network police agency."
