i Have recently read an article about Google Global Cache being implemented in Uganda : http://whiteafrican.com/2011/01/17/local-web-cache-lessons-uganda/
Google Global Cache (GGC) enables your company to optimize network infrastructure costs associated with delivering Google and YouTube content to your users by serving this content from inside your network.
From what i understood is that Google pays for the equipment, all isps in lebanon should implement it specially because of the scarcity in bandwidth.
The program is still in beta and the conditions are :
Your organization operates a network with a public Autonomous System Number.
Your organization operates a network with a publicly routable address space (at least a /24).
Your organization's address space and AS-Macro are registered with the appropriate regional Internet registry.
