Comcast to Invest in P2P Networking Startup

Ironic decision given the company's previous background with P2P packet throttling, or smart business move to profit on the commercialization of P2P networks? Either way, Comcast is investing in GridNetworks, a startup specializing in the delivery of video using peer-to-peer networking technology.

Quote:
Seattle-based GridNetworks on Monday said that Comcast would make an unspecified investment in the company and collaborate on developing so-called peer-to-peer file-sharing techniques that are "friendly" to Internet service providers.
