Re: Open Connect
If the ISP host the caching server, then doesn't that mean they still have to deliver all the content, unicast, to consumers?
It might save 95% of traffic at the Netflix end, but probably not at the (downstream) ISP side.
Maybe they can install a caching server in each neighbourhood though, at great expense, with the fees paid to Netflix.
I don't think this is a clear-cut case, I can see arguments on both sides.
