Webrtc is here with p2p transmission of the camera + microphone (or files of course). I think it's time for all of us to move to p2p solutions that will come.



Actually it supports sending any byte stream accross. It amazes me nobody seem to have built a peer2peer network out of it yet.

Seems like a shot for open goal.


Why would you do that vs just writing a normal downloadable app?

Yahoo bought PeerCDN, which uses data channels from WebRTC.
