Peering would reduce an ISP's reliance on transit provider (and thus
load on transit providers) hut still present same problem on the ISP's
internal network.

Also, doesn't Apple use a CDN such as Akamai or L3 to deliver content
like that?

Considering Apple has been out of the server business since 2010, Would
ISPs really bother installing/configuring (and finding a spot on a rack
shelf ) for a Mac Mini only to reduce load once a year ?
