If folks running networks really think website designers and owners should care about caching, then there needs to be some sort of benefit (perhaps paid in dollars) to those affected. Otherwise, there's little reason for them to care.
Think again. When potential customers dollars walk to the competition, you will start caring. I'm not going to pay you so that my customers can visit your site and buy things from you -- that's completely out of the question.

Your customers are paying YOU to provide end-to-end connectivity on the internet. If that involves a settlement based peering arrangement, you're saying that it is completely out of the question? Have fun with your non-connected network. I'm betting on your customers dollars will RUNNING to the competition. --- John Fraizer EnterZone, Inc
