Are mobile Torrents the first big trend of 2008?

According to ZDNet the first big open source trend of 2008 is already on the horizon: Mobile Torrents.

Mobile implementations of the
BitTorrent Protocol are nearly certain to be part of whatever Google Android comes up with, and if not someone will have one for the open platform straightaway.

... Getting this trend off the ground won’t be easy. The BitTorrent throttling which draws enormous objections when done on the Internet may be standard business practice at AT&T or Verizon wireless.

The latter may be available to new devices, but that doesn’t mean it’s, like, open. They still want to get paid."
