Where do you feel CDN's fit in? They sometimes are on the CDN owner's network, sometimes they are also on ISP A's network. The CDN in A can be fed settlement-free into A. ISP B and C can be settlement-free to A for CDN traffic. I have seen this where A wasn't big enough to justify having the CDN on their own without B and C's eyeballs. Yet, A doesn't sell transit to B or C. Or, how about inter-domain multicast? Maybe that is out of scope, but these routing slots are even more scarcely available and it can break a financial model, just like the "packet replication" from the CDN.
