"The only reason there is starvation in Gaza is because IDF is preventing aid from entering the territory and are refusing to let real humanitarian organizations work safely there."
This is not accurate to say the least.

Hi, I'm the co-founder of Peer5. The difference is that Peer5 is a hosted solution with coordination and analytics. It's an "enterprise" product with support and everything a large media company would need.
Prices do go down, but consumption goes up in a faster pace. So overall companies pay more for CDNs for video :)
The thing is, even if CDNs would be free, they have limited capacity and they saturate during large live events. That's one of the reasons we still watch sports on pay-tv.
When a user access any website of content providers online, they implicitly agree to the terms of service of that provider. When using Peer5, the terms of service includes a language about public IP temporarily visible to other users.
The idea is that you're not double taxed. If you're using a CDN already like Akamai for instance, you wouldn't pay Peer5 for the HTTP bytes. Only Akamai would charge you for that.
Hi, Hadar here, Co-founder and CEO of Peer5.
PeerCDN started at about the same time as Peer5 and was a competitor. Later it was acquired by Yahoo.
PeerCDN was a general purpose CDN, while Peer5 specializes in video. Feross, one of PeerCDN's founders and author of WebTorrent actually became my friend and we exchange ideas from time to time.
