It is actually amazing how everyone fell for it... There is a nice article Aspera's fasp Track for High-Speed Data Delivery http://wiki.ssg.uab.edu/download/attachments/15632191/Aspera_faspTrack_for_High-SpeedDataDelivery.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1306354033000&api=v2 quoting Aspera's director of technological sales "We Can’t Fix the Internet"... oh well -- "you" could have if fasp was an open protocol as the Internet, but indeed by closing it down you "can't".
I can only hope that either their pockets would get full enough they would open up their fasp protocol or may be by then community's open developments (UFTP and alike) would reach comparable performance because locking down to a closed protocol might bite back badly.
