Its also relevent to mention that there are multiple Akamai Server configs. A basic server config only stores some of the Internet content in its cache. Much larger cache servers are needed, for more effective caching. What volume is needed to get equivlent cache performance as Comcast Verizon?
Also, hosting their servers is not necessarilyl free. For example, the most logicial place to put it might be at one's NOC. That NOC might reside at a Colo. At $50 per U of space, that is a residual cost that you will pay. And how many Us are each of Akamai's 3 servers in the base configuration? Note with 100mb for $150/month in a colo, paying teh reoccuring rack fees would be more expensive than buying an extra 100mb of bandwidth, thus I'd argue even for the ISP there is a minimum usage capacity before it would be cost beneficial the the ISP as well, not just Akamai. What some ISPs are doing is working in cooperation to put in a single Akamai server, and then havingthe partner ISPs peer with the ISP that homes the Akamai server, and use their aggregate bandwidth to qualify. Where the caching is most beneficial would be caching data for server s located on the opposite coast. For example, bypassing 70ms latency required to get from East to West Coast.
