How much demand for 360 could possibly warrant these type of actions. I mean, at a time when ISPs are complaining about people chewing up bandwidth with people watching useless videos, the ISP then stands in line to get permission to provide access to Burmese Soccer?
Well, if you're caching content locally, then you don't have to worry about overheads associated with satisfying content requests exterior to your network.

 so then how much of your cache do you need to dedicate to ESPN?
And doesn't this undercut the ISPs own argument that content providers are chewing up bandwidth?
Heres a clear cut case where the ISP will push the preferred content that they want you to see so they can make the money back.

ISPs (and others) have long used content accelerators (since at least the mid-90s) to more efficiently make use of bandwidth.
