I've played with it in the past, but never could get much out of it. I think there are two reasons for this. First, in my network, the pain is actually last-mile (i.e. the extra load on the last hop to the customer), and short of putting some kind of psychic predictive cache in the customer's home, that can't be avoided. The second problem, and the one that's probably more important, is that even if the content were easily cache-able (it isn't), there wouldn't be much point to it, because the odds that any two subscribers are watching the same TV show, at the same time, with the same video settings, being streamed from the same Akamai server, or within a few hours of one another, is pretty slim.
