How r u gonna spend yer Altnet money?

[napho]

I can't wait for Brilliant Digital's Altnet to start! They're gonna be paying us for our excess bandwidth. All those leeches on FastTrack take our porno for free but Kevin Burmeister is going to pay us! I figure I'm in for $2,000 a week. A nice infusion of cash.


"There is the potential of compensation for users.
That's the whole purpose of Altnet. The benefit of distributed computing technologies in a global peer-to-peer network is such that many organizations that are using centralized servers models can begin deploying their technologies out to the ultimate edge. The ultimate edge is represented by users of this network.

So the benefits to businesses that are making use of Altnet is being passed on to end users, through a program based around "Altnet resource dollars." Those resource dollars are essentially a reward mechanism for end users who have opted in to the program, to gain a continuous benefit from making their resources available.

That benefit will manifest in inventory provided by Altnet marketing partners who are gaining bandwidth reduction costs and cost savings through the use of Altnet."
