The problem with the local cache[s] is the bandwidth cost of populating the cache and keeping it coherent can be greater than the bandwidth saved. From your description, I would expect this to be the case so a local cache will not help. Rule of thumb is if your downstream traffic is not at least 3gb/sec, you won't see a win from a cache. This problem can be mitigated if you can find other large bandwidth consumers on the island and partner to share a cache. Examples of potential partners would be your competitors, universities, government organisations, etc. The savings can be significant. If there is a local peering point on the islands, this would be the best place for shared caches. Sharing caches via an existing non-profit peering organization or having a non-profit, educational organization, or the government take the lead can lower the suspicion barrier and result in more sign-ups.

As others have noted, your best chances are getting content providers to give you a local cache of their most popular content.
