A Decentralized Web?

A report over at ReadWriteWeb about a possible P2P (peer-to-peer) approach to the web, eliminating the need for a web server for certain kinds of applications.

Imagine a web where our browsers connected directly to each other to do voice, video, media sharing and run applications, using P2P and real-time APIs, rather than going through centralized servers that controlled traffic and permissions.

Part of the appeal here is the potential to maintain network channels independent of a corporation or government’s ability to bring them down.
