Bernard Lunn’s article is from April 2008, and meanwhile most of the mentioned drawbacks do not exist anymore.
With 2 million peers we have already today a sufficient user base for a web scale indexing. This also proved the scalability of the p2p approach and our technology.
In a world where people are downloading a separate iphone/ipad/android… app for every webpage the download hurdle does not seem to exist anymore 😉
