I agree. The problem is not the bandwidth from my headend, it is the

video over the Internet
thing is absolutely insane! With a bird (satellite) I can deliver
content to 280 million people with just 6 gigs worth of data
transfer. If I do the same across the
Internet it will take 1.5279510989 zettabytes!!!! Talk about total
inefficiency!

/*Subject:*/ Re: [WISPA] Netflix to offer free caches to ISPs
They require at least 2Gbps of Netflix traffic across your network at
all time and require you connect the box to a 10Gbps port to our
network. I really doubt there are many WISP's out there running this
much Netflix traffic at one time. A few but nowhere near the majority.
Also, for many of us, this probably isn't the problem of running out
of internet transit but rather having AP's at capacity for which this
would not solve at all.

I just came across this article on Netflix's plans to start running
their own CDN. They're going to be offering free peering at a few
IXPs, and are offering free cache appliances for ISPs with large
amounts of traffic.

More information from Netflix itself is here:

Does anyone here plan to pursue this? How much would something like
this actually resolve your Netflix issues, or is the bottleneck inside
your network rather than at the access link?
