What if ISPs created their own CDNs or someone creates a CDN network behind major ISP providers -- Netflix and YouTube top consumed content seems to be a very good contender for this type of a offering.

- scandinavian 5y agoCorrect we have netflix, google and akamai caches in our datacenter. A very large chunk of our total traffic goes through these racks.
- himinlomax 5y agoThere's a big difference in usage patterns: Netflix has a small number of videos, each with huge viewer count. That's eminently cachable. Youtube otoh is the long tail, orders of magnitude more videos with small view counts. Some of it may be cachable, but that's going to shave off on the order of 20% of the traffic cost, whereas in Netflix's case the gain could easily be 99%.
