The point of what I'm trying to describe is an adaptive edge-caching service for the Internet. Support your ISP has cache a 100GB cache in your data center (probably RAM-based - think memcache). They could just leave in the cache those chunks that have the most demand from their customers. No one needs to decide if one "show" or another is most popular. Perhaps the cache would contain the first 15 minutes of Eastenders, and the last 30 minutes of the Oscars. That's the beauty of a system like this is that is self-optimizes w/o a complex source-to-edge protocol.
