technical challenges may be, costs... I don't think so. We recently tried to
work out a few things with the bandwidth we were consuming in the office and
what a cache would save us.

Based on our calculations and consideration of a cache server that caches
data more or less like the GGC does, we actually save 75% of our office
bandwidth by utilising the cache. If you took into consideration that you
would save 35% of your downlink bandwidth and 35% of your uplink bandwidth,
I think it follow that you benefit more than Google would, since, all their
data is offered to the end users for free.

Ronnie, run netflow on your router that directly peers with your uplink,
analyse this data and find out how much of that traffic is youtube, google
and Google related sites.


Let Google give it to us and we'll do all to ensure it gets through the IX,
no strings attached.

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in
a million chances happen 99% of the time.
