and telcos take a wait a see attitude. In the Light Reading article Chris Rice, AT&T Executive VP of network planning and engineering said "I think the view that we're looking at is: You have managed services and you have unmanaged services. Peer-to-peer services are unmanaged. Obviously, unmanaged IP services deal with impairments. Sometimes they have slower response times. Sometimes they have quicker response times. It just depends on the usage and the volume of traffic on the network at any given time. In a managed environment, throughput is the same all the time."Qwest CTO Pieter Poll said "I'm not convinced that it causes network congestion at this point, but clearly it has the potential to do that. ... I found that the traffic is well under what some in that industry say is happening. I mean, you hear claims of significant double-digit penetration of peer-to-peer traffic, and it was not near there."
