If there was better financial incentives for businesses to have their 
content hosted in Australia there would be less content coming from 
overseas to those networks in Aus.

Definitely a large amount of traffic, difficult to measure though.

You could use facebook as a point of reference though. Perhaps they 
would have cachers in aus if it didn't cost them MORE to deliver it here 
than what it is to deliver (in my case) any2ix in the states.

(disclaimer, I didn't look at if there was any in page cdn's before 
writing this, just all of the hosts are over seas)
