That is how VDO-X works as well. We have built-in a feature called CDN resources sharing. Some models:

- CDNs can offer a private CDN within their CDN. That is our CDN in a Box concept.

- CDNs can overflow traffic towards each other and to our StreamZilla CDN, and vice versa.

Velocix is already engaged with the BBC and a number of regional ISPs in the UK and Verizon recently announced that they were adopting Velocix Metro to build their own CDN capability.

A key advantage of the Velocix solution is that it can provide both enabling technology for an ISP to CDN enable their network and also provide interconnectivity beyond their access network via the globally deployed Velocix CDN.

This capability provides several advantages:

It means that the ISP doesn’t have to invest unnecessarily to to cope with traffic peaks that may occur infrequently or unexpectedly. It can instead set up fallback arrangements so that in such situations, delivery falls back from their CDN to the Velocix CDN.

It also means that they can deliver their content to subscribers on other ISP networks, either in the same region or in other geographies.

In addition, they can benefit from revenue sharing arrangements with Velocix for our traffic delivered to their customers.

Without this interconnectivity, ISP CDNs create disconnected islands and don’t allow them to benefit fully from the infrastructure investment they are making or plan to make.

Licensing CDN tech to ISPs is a good strategy. That is a good market, think of all the enterprise extranets.

Looks like VDOX has the edge. It can be setup within days and the customer can manage the CDN.
