It would be really nice if the major CDNs had virtual machines small network operators with very expensive regional transport costs could spin up. Hit rate would be very low, of course, but the ability to grab some of these mass-market huge updates and serve them on the other end of the regional transport at essentially no extra cost would be great. I'm sure legal arrangements make that difficult, though.
My experience is that they want to see lots of traffic growth to stay interested. As companies get bigger the minimum bar to play keeps going up, and anyone below that bar is stuck relying on transit. Fall below the bar or don't show enough growth fast enough and they pull the resources away.
