That said - as I mentioned to Cameron offlist - I have seen a reasonably large number of midsize ISPs in Asia deploying P2P Caches. It has not been so common in the telco-size ISPs yet, which I suspect is because the lawyers have heart attacks at the idea.

There's at least one telco-size ISP running P2P caching in a country very near to you - I was talking to them about it only a month or so back :)

Oh - sure. It's not that it ISN'T happening, it just doesn't seem to be happening as fast as it seems in the mid-size market, at least in Asia. In the Pacific part I think it is pretty similar too. I am currently working with a telco which has them and absolutely loves them... aj
