Hi,

I am working in a think-tank like department of a mobile network manufacturer. Having worked on the design of e.g. "mobile portals", WAP systems and the like, I recognized the p2p "wave" for quite some time, but we couldn't figure out how this would affect mobile devices using, for example, third generation (or beyond) mobile systems.

One of the main obstacle is, in our point of view, the bandwidth consumption for search algorithms that occurs even for passive participants of most p2p networks. To be more precise: running today's p2p clients on mobile phones is just not feasible for several reasons (simple pricing is one of them).

This is why we are most interested in modified search algorithms as well as bandwidth limited/optimized distributed storage systems for mobile peers.

Hence, may we suggest to the group to bear in mind these special requirements for mobile systems for the upcoming work.

Regards,

Frank-Uwe Andersen
