Before it is send to a mobile phone, the data has to be retrieved in the
classic way. Do you really think that the companies who run mobile network
do not have the expertise to keep a bunch of caching servers in the air ?
When you do, do you think that all these mobile operators do not have that
skill? Do you think they do not have capacity at the key locations of the
Internet infrastructure?
Thanks,

Hoi,
I am not so much interested in what they use. What I would like to
suggest
is that we have partners in both Africa and Asia.
They are likely to have
the expertise to run a caching centre on our behalf. They provide us a
service in bringing Wikipedia at no cost to their customers. When we pay
them to run a non-discriminatory caching service, it would increase our
service and maybe even the cost of transatlantic traffic.
Thanks,

Running a mobile network is completely different operation from running a
CDN.
