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.
