Even if we had 
ISP supporting caches, there is always the problem getting p2p clients 
to support them (given they often are too busy trying to circumvent).

I fail to see the point. If an ISP needs to add caches they may
as well just add a simple, cheaper, standard, http cache.

No special clients required, no fiddling to make locality work
and no extra, expensive in some architectures, last mile traffic
