From News.com:
Velocix is described by vendor CacheLogic as a multiprotocol P2P-based media delivery platform that could revolutionize legitimate peer-to-peer traffic. Velocix is a system of local caching, whereby popular high-volume files are stored at various locations relatively close to where they are needed.
The idea is that agreements could be signed with content distributors, such as movie studios or software vendors, and Internet service providers, enabling large files to be stored with Velocix and distributed locally when requested. For very large files, this could cut transmission costs for the ISPs significantly. This could also encourage customers to download copyright-protected content rather than unlicensed versions.

Sounds similar to SkyRider, which last week sent out the vaguest of press releases on its upcoming monetizable P2P network.
