There was a streaming company that did this...

This idea is NOT NEW! There was a streaming company out of San Jose that was doing this back in 2000. They put their customers' streams on a satellite and sent them to large ISPs all over the country to stream locally. They called it EDGE STREAMING, in that the streams came from the edges of the 'net, minimizing the number of routers the packets had to go through. I find it amusing that it took a suppositely savvy WSJ almost ten years to realize this technology exists-and only then to write about it it in the context that conserving Internet bandwidth is a BAD thing!
