so then how much of your cache do you need to dedicate to ESPN?
And doesn't this undercut the ISPs own argument that content providers are chewing up bandwidth?
Heres a clear cut case where the ISP will push the preferred content that they want you to see so they can make the money back.
ISPs (and others) have long used content accelerators (since at least the mid-90s) to more efficiently make use of bandwidth.
