P2P Parking = facilitating finding parkings spots through a p2p application.

Example: SpotScout


URL = http://www.spotscout.com/


Description

"The idea is that if you know you are about to leave your parking space, you send a message via your phone to SpotScout. That information is then broadcast to the mobile phones of people looking for a park. If they pull into your parking spot they pay a fee which is split between SpotScout and you.

The website says they are launching soon in the States, and it’s a business which could work almost anywhere there’s parking problems. It could also easily be integrated into in-car navigation systems, and that could be a killer app." (http://blog.zopa.com/archives/2006/06/06/p2p-parking-first-guest-blog/)
