Fair enough. I was thinking more Triad/i3/DONA/defaultOff/... where
strictly speaking, "DNS" and "IP" play a very different role than they
do today. To the extent that the bill of Internet rights says: _users_
should be able to reach any other user at reasonable speeds (at some
layer), I agree, but that's very different from saying all public IP
all the time.

Skype is a good example of p2p creating unnecessary traffic in the
sense that I shouldn't have to relay through Brazil for a peer 10kms
away with a common ISP. A p4p-like approach where all parties have a
control knob allow these inefficiencies to be removed, and perhaps
forestalls unnecessary posturing. But it does require the content
provider to convince the ISP to get on board.
