"Many commercial systems have little concern for [research issues], while the short-term concerns of commercial entities are often not within the purview of academic research. Such discontinuites in perspective have led to a rift between the two communities, bridging which will be of significant short- and long-term benefit."

I agree that "There is no foundation upon which one can build a unified, P2P network on the Internet: today's P2P protocols create disjoint islands of isolated Internet nodes." but I question how valuable such an approach is when the technology is so poorly understood and NIH tends to be a tough nut to crack.
