Vincent is a superstar US technology executive who has moved back to China to lead one of the biggest up and coming startups -- PPLive. PPLive is a p2p TV service -- basically like Joost, except that it works! It has 120M installs, with 30M active users every month. They gave me a demo of PPLive in their office (its mostly only usable in China) and it took about 15 seconds for a new TV show or movie to start, tracking within a program took about 5 seconds. It looked to me like a pretty amazing replacement for network television, and it's all P2P!
