P2P service puts out new version

Kontiki, a peer-to-peer delivery service for Internet video and other digital media, has released version 1.0 of the Kontiki Delivery Network. The service is based on patent-pending "bandwidth harvesting" technology, which distributes digital content from PCs throughout the Internet. Kontiki is launching the Delivery Network with 50,000 nodes. The company was launched in August with pilot testers that include Loudcloud, Palm, TiVo and VeriSign. Newer customers include the Sundance Film Festival, McAfee.com and News.com publisher CNET Networks.
