Let me first say ... IANAL. That being said this (like most legal language) is a broad as possible and by design. Having spoken with Verizon (Wholesale, Wireless and Edgecast teams) there seems to be a consensus that models that limit their (the telecoms) transit costs are encouraged and there's a number[1][2] of commercial examples where thats the case. Indeed - their own CDN offerings don't (yet) have the economics (today) to support more distributed caches, so something like this which is lightweight and requires no DNS/infrastructure changes is interesting. A place where this is getting a lot of discussion is where we'd least expect it: on the LTE networks. Since there isn't yet[3] a solution for mobile peering there's a lot of discussion around solutions to run low cost, light weight caches _inside_ the Radio Area network.
