Net Neutrality & Web Content providers installing servers at ISPs

Not entirely mew news, but a recent Wired posting [1] focuses attention on 
massive investment by certain large content providers who are installing 
CDN servers near the edges of the networks at ISP sites. Thus, a Youtube or 
Netflix video served using such an arrangement might result in only local 
network traffic, while a similar video sourced from another provider might 
transit the long-haul network. Obviously, there are important financial 
implications, but also architectural questions relating to net neutrality 
and the ability for the Web to continue to evolve in a decentralized manner.

I'm not suggesting any particular action by the TAG on this just now, but 
it does seem to be a trend we should be tracking.
