This has a very strong "back to the future" ring to it. We started our caching layers back in 2004 with an eye towards bandwidth / housing donations from universities and ISPs [1], and indeed benefited from such donations in Amsterdam (Kennisnet), Paris and Seoul (Yahoo). Of these, only the Amsterdam PoP has survived, and is now in our own management.
