Yes! Web sites can profit by having BorderManager act as a "Reverse-Proxy" and feed the public the web pages faster than the web server can ... so instead of buying more expensive web servers, you could buy a BorderManager and allow it to "front-end" your web servers. Anyone who has taken the time to install the product and look at it is impressed.

On top of this, ISPs that install BorderManager can gain back bandwidth because of the caching, and users get even faster downloads and better utilization of their modems!

Yep ... only all of them! ;-)

And every ISP ... and the telcos ... and eventually the end-users ... I'm running one here at home!
