Q&A with Qwest CTO Pieter Poll

Qwest chief technology officer Pieter Poll answered questions from Network World around a range of subjects from P2P to telco consolidation. He’s even questioned about a possible Verizon buyout, though you can probably guess what his answer to that would be.

NW: There has been a lot of talk recently about P2P traffic management. How does Qwest currently manage P2P, and how do you anticipate it changing?

Poll: First, we are chatting with a lot of different companies that are in the P2P business about how we can work together to drive P2P adoption while also easing a lot of the problems that P2P traffic can cause. Particularly, there's been a lot of discussion revolving around technologies such as the P4P Working Group that would help P2P networks become more well-behaved.
