One of the big problems with peer to peer is that the connections are more or less random. You could be download a song from someone thousands of miles away even though someone down the street has the same file available. This long-distance carriage is expensive for ISPs.

Verizon’s new idea, dubbed P4P, that connected users not randomly, but to other users close by. In a traditional P2P network, if a Verizon customer downloads a file, only 6.3 percent of the data will come from another Verizon customer in the same city, said Doug Pasko, senior technologist at the company. In the "P4P" trial, 58 percent of the data came from nearby Verizon users, vastly reducing the company's cost of carrying the traffic.
