Not all ISPs are fortunate enough to be in a town where there is an
active exchange with Netflix/Akamai/Google presence.

For instance, Montréal just recently oopened a peering exchange. While
this will eventually allow local ISPs to peer with the big content
providers, until this happens, small ISPs have to get that content via
paid transit links.


AS1312 isn't particularly large (2 /16s, 30K students, 8K fac/staff), and
Akamai was more than willing to drop a cache unit in our machine room.
And Google was happy to meet us at the upstream end of our link to
the outside world - but I half-suspect that was just because we make their
IPv6 stats look good :)
