3 months ago Oversi announced a cache deployment at True (see "Does True Internet [Thailand] Use Oversi Just to Improve Internet Video QoE?" - here) and now Bluecoat announces that "True Internet .. has deployed Blue Coat® CacheFlow® 5000 [here and chart below] appliances to reduce costly international bandwidth consumption, as well as to improve end-user Web experience especially for the delivery of rich Web 2.0 and video content".
See "True Internet Deploys CacheFlow Appliances to Reduce Bandwidth Costs and Improve User Experience for Rich Web 2.0 & Video Content" - here.
True is also using PeerApp - see "True -- Thailand's Largest Internet Service Provider Cuts Bandwidth Costs with New Peer-to-Peer Technology from PeerApp" - here.
This time it is clearly said that caching is used to reduce the usage of costly international bandwidth, and not only in order to improve subscribers’ QoE. Bluecoat explains that "Particularly in high-growth, developing regions such as Latin America, Middle East, Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia, international bandwidth costs can be prohibitive for service providers. In many instances, regional service providers may be paying hundreds or thousands of dollars per megabit per second (Mbps) per month for international IP transit bandwidth."
