The first step would be that swiss universities organize cache servers
for their traffic. This would also better work with the new concept
of Cantonal firewalls some Cantons may want to install (proxies/caches).

Of course one can wonder why SWITCH did not install a super-big cache
on their (paid by our taxes) material and why they insist on making
the swiss universities pay for the Swiss internal traffic.

Please correct me if the above is wrong, however it appears to me that:
   o  SWITCH machines were paid by a special credit voted by the Chambers
   o  Swiss Universities and ETH/EPF pay for incoming traffic even for
      Swiss-only traffic (so even to the SWITCH FTP server, or an
      hypothetic WWW cache).
