Free and fair internet caching.
Internet usage is increasing. People are using more bandwidth and more people are coming online every day.
The idea of having ISPs cache content in order to save on data being repeatedly sent long distances seems simple enough but quickly becomes a copyright minefield, with the act of caching content being a direct violation of copyright.
I propose a simple solution: Create a network, within the ISP, of all the subscribers; Within which, any subscriber can send and receive data to and from any other user on the same ISP (Or an allied ISP.) with increased speed (Particularly upload from the senders end.) and without incurring any usage of their bandwidth allocation.
While nerds will quickly set about creating their own network applications (Similar to Bittorrent’s local peers feature.), content providers no longer need to worry about having the ISPs in control of caching their content against their wishes as they can simply buy (Or more likely, rent.) a server, place it within the ISP’s network, and redirect users to their local repository.
End result: Data caching controlled by the content creator. Less data sent outside and between ISP networks.
