The time has come for explaining the benefits of P2P beyond file sharing.
I would interprete P2P in many ways than just Peer-to-Peer. Person-to-Person, People-to-People, Point-to-Point, Professional-to-Professional, Poverty-to-Progress and so on.
P2P has immense benefits for the enterprise if handled with care and openness. Often P2P is misunderstood for File Sharing, File Swapping mostly related to audio and video files such as mp3 which usually culminates in violation of Digital Rights.
At a juncture where Free Software Foundation has begun a new campaign on DRM, Samooha an innovative offering from India that is focused on SME empowerment through Self Service Desktop Technology leveraged by Peer-to-Peer and Client Server technologies is being mistaken for P2P file sharing service which it is not.
In an unfortunate turn of events Samooha http://samooha.sourceforge.net seem to be misunderstood for a File Swapping Service by an American Company Details here http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/6/prweb395679.htm
Samooha is a business platform with pre-integrated supply chain and collaboration features that could help Small Enterprises to conduct business without barriers and reach out to their prospects, customers and partners globally.
If you believe in Peer-to-Peer technology to enhance the quality of information and freedom of collaboration amongst participating entities, thereby empowering people, professionals and public enterprises, please help me to spread the correct information about P2P as explained here.
I have dedicated almost 5 years now to bring P2P responsibly to enterprise and your support would further help me provide a new meaning to P2P for enabling delivery of innovative applications for larger segment of the enterprise pyramid.
