Comment on Launch HN: Peer5 (YC W17) – Serverless CDN

Comments

I was pondering to collaborate in a similar project and my main concern was mobile bandwith use.

As a mobile user I would hate to have my data being use by some random company...

It this address in some way?

Right, that's a great point. We take into account whether your mobile device is currently using Cellular or Wifi and make decisions based on that. (Today Cellular devices would not be uploading at all, just leeching)

How about non-mobile devices? (Laptops tethered to phones, 3G-based Wifi-hotspots, ...)

Devices connected through another device still have the same external ip - allowing us to detect it's indeed Cellular and not Wifi

Great :)
