Lot of these contents that you speak of (Netflix, Akamai, et al) have open peering policies and are present in more exchange points than anybody else.Not all ISPs are fortunate enough to be in a town where there is an active exchange with Netflix/Akamai/Google presence. For instance, Montréal just recently oopened a peering exchange. While this will eventually allow local ISPs to peer with the big content providers, until this happens, small ISPs have to get that content via paid transit links.
or via some cooperative arrangement with another IX participant, no?
Toronto has "local" content available via peering so smaller ISPs can benefit from that. But not every city has that chance. Netflix's policy does require a minimum amount of traffic before an ISP can deploy an Open Connect appliance. So smaller ISPs are at a disadvantage if they are located in a city without CDN presence.
