Unfortunately, you're probably right about cross-boundary cooperation.

But 'administrative boundaries' often encompass a variety of remote
offices.

And even the guys in HQ have a way of being many bridge/router hops
from the big cache array.

And there are places where bandwidth to the outside world is so
expensive that lots of sharing happens.
