is just another traffic sink or source (e.g. a server) to an ISP,
rather than something that requires enabling knobs on the network
infrastructure for special handling or requires special traffic
engineering for it to work, I'd think you'd get quite a bit of
interest.
I think there's interest from the consumer level, already:

It's early days, but if this becomes the norm, then the end-users
themselves will end up doing the caching.
