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.
It's a bang-per-buck issue, and depends highly on whether your particular network sees more HTTP or P2P traffic. If HTTP is 60% of your traffic, an http cache makes sense. If P2P is 70% and HTTP is 20%, it probably doesn't make sense. And the only numbers that matter here are what *you* measure at the point you intend to install the cache - I've seen so many conflicting numbers for different parts of the net that no firm conclusions can be drawn.
