Consumers are showing no let-up in their use of the Internet as a preferred means to acquire digital content, whether music or large games

The size of digital content objects is growing exponentially while the economics of delivering them over the Internet has hit a wall.

The commercial use of peer-to-peer technologies for distributing popular online games and other large digital content is expected to be a hot topic at the GDC. As startup companies such as Solid State Networks are entering the content delivery market with new products, major technology companies are acquiring reliable content delivery solutions providers. An example of this is the recent acquisition of Kontiki by Verisign, which is putting a bright light on the rapidly growing market segment.

Studies show that BitTorrent protocol traffic may account for up to 30 percent of all information distributed over the Internet. “Consumers are showing no let-up in their use of the Internet as a preferred means to acquire digital content, whether music or large games,” said Ketola. “The size of digital content objects is growing exponentially while the economics of delivering them over the Internet has hit a wall.”

In his presentation Friday, March 24, from noon to 1 p.m. PST, Ketola will outline for content producers and owners how they can utilize an optimized peer-to-peer or distributed architecture to solve the frequent problem of overloading Internet servers without the costly installation of additional hardware or use of expensive, traditional content delivery networks (CDNs).
