It doesn't necessarily equate to networks of equal size, but of equal value. Value can be obtained by managing a large network, having a large consumer base, or having a significant amount of content. All things are not created equal and the various "values" have to be weighed to determine what a peer is, or is not. Alot of pipes going nowhere with no users has no value. Alot of content without any pipes also has no value as no users can gain access to it. -jh- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
