The 0.facebook deal mentioned on this list earlier in the week seems to 
predate it. But like others, I'm puzzled why paying to get your content 
delivered more efficiently is such a surprise - Akamai have offered this 
for a decade, and it's the reason why pure content providers are members 
of out-of-state[1] IXPs, which they have achieved despite, in the 
distant past, some hard-liners saying the benefits should be restricted 
to reseller connectivity ISPs (and not direct to end sites).

[1] State meaning their home country.
