With all the talk of Netflix and other bandwidth-intensive streaming applications that are on the horizon, has anyone here looked into peering with any of the major CDNs to reduce transit costs? I seem to remember hearing that Akamai would colo a box within an ISP's network at no cost to the ISP if there was enough (bandwidth) demand. Anyone know if Limelight will do something similar? I'm guessing that most of us are not big enough for this to be financially feasible, but for those who are, it seems that there could be some major savings. My 100% business customer base tends to use a lot of bandwidth from Youtube and streaming radio. A direct connection to Limelight would cut down on transit costs big time.
