Niklas Zennstrom: ?Peer-To-Peer Is Not Disruptive Today?

Last week at Disrupt Beijing, Sarah Lacy interviewed Skype co-founder and Atomico investor Niklas Zennstrom. (You can watch the full fireside chat in the video above.)?Zennstrom was a pioneer in building a series of startups on peer-to-peer technology (Skype, Kazaaa, Joost), but towards the end of the interview he says, "Peer to peer is not disruptive today." ?Sometimes it makes sense to use it, sometimes it doesn't. ?Many networks are hybrid. ?But what was originally a competitive advantage and a way to get around bandwidth bottlenecks is no longer so crucial. ?Zennstrom learned that with Joost when broadband costs plummeted and made it more economical to just stream videos directly to users.
