Investment in the net enforcers, saving an average of $160K in data costs
per PoP, per month, certainly justifies the initial cost outlay, after all
you spend 100K once for a saving of 160K per month, therefore thats a nice
contribution towards expanding, employing more staff, advertising, and of
course company profit (remember... ISP's are not around for your enjoyment,
they are a business out to make money, no profit = no business = no ISP)
But certainly it doesnt justify the investment into p2p cache units, since
policies to shape the hell out of the abusers do a good enough job
already.
