RE: The First Truly Decentralized IP Sharing Exchange
This sounds like a very practical and useful tech. I can see how there would be a market for this with users for a variety of reasons. One that stands out to me is the restrictions that are put on users when online from certain IP's. You are often bound to the country's restrictions from which your IP originates. This means that just because you are from a certain location you have restricted access to content. I can't count the number of times I have had conversations with people about their frustrations regarding the fact that they are unable to access the same content as everyone else. Even when they are willing to pay for the content. A great example of this is Netflix. Netflix has restrictions on what content is provided to you based on where you live. Being from Canada there are many shows that are available to American Netflix viewers but not to Canadians. We pay the same price for the service but have reduced content. I'm not sure if this is due to the CRTC, the governing body for television and radio in Canada or if it is merely a choice by Netflix. I know that many people often purchase and use IP's from different area in order to access this content. I will be watching as this project develops. Thanks for sharing.
This has been the problem with services like Netflix in quite a few countries. They wouldn't even provide the popular movies because they were in the "wrong" geographic location. IPSX comes with a great solution though.
Do they have a major partners signed up to use their tech? I will be researching this more. Thank you bringing a whole new idea to me. Keep up the great posts!
