Ah, good point, ethertype. Although I'd note that enterprises are expected to generate a lot more video traffic (hence the need for CDNs). Some of AT&T's CDN customers might be small providers grappling with video, too (theoretically possible, anyway). But you are correct, I was taking a couple of turns my thinking there.
Craig, I think you're confusing CDNs. You say carriers need CDNs for "all the video content they're being asked to shunt around," which implies this is all about managing AT&T's own network costs. But the press release is all about forming "a strategic alliance to deliver a global suite of content delivery network (CDN) solutions to companies," i.e. selling solutions to enterprise customers.
