just would appear that maybe this "proposed p2p standard" you are suggesting...would alienate many users?
There are many ways to implement leech control, and they don't need to follow any mechanistic bandwidth-for-bandwidth rule. If you find and receive good original content form a dial-up why not to reward that dial-up, even if the delivery of the stuff is inevitably slow (for further elaboration of the topic see my comments in this thread). The point here is just that to have any reliable leech control or privileged sharing mechanism at all you need to have a reliable identity management system.
