英文摘要：
The formation of consortiums of a broadband access Internet Service Provider (ISP) and multiple Content Providers (CP) is considered for large-scale content caching. The consortium members share costs from operations and investments in the supporting infrastructure. Correspondingly, the model\'s cost function includes marginal and fixed costs; the latter has been important in determining industry structure. Also, if Net Neutrality regulations permit, additional network capacity on the ISP\'s last mile may be contracted by the CPs. The number of subscribers is determined by a combination of users\' price elasticity of demand and Quality of Experience. The profit generated by a coalition after pricing and design optimization determines the game\'s characteristic function. Coalition formation is by a bargaining procedure due to Okada (1996) based on random proposers in a non-cooperative, multi-player game-theoretic framework. A necessary and sufficient condition is obtained for the Grand Coalition to form, which bounds subsidies from large to small contributors. Caching is generally supported even under Net Neutrality regulations. The Grand Coalition\'s profit matches upper bounds. Numerical results illustrate the analytic results.

中文摘要：
对于大规模内容缓存，考虑组建宽带接入互联网服务提供商（ISP）和多个内容提供商（CP）的联盟。联合体成员分担运营成本和配套基础设施投资成本。相应地，模型的成本函数包括边际成本和固定成本；后者在决定产业结构方面起着重要作用。此外，如果网络中立性法规允许，ISP最后一英里的额外网络容量可能由CPs承包。用户数量取决于用户的需求价格弹性和体验质量。联盟在定价和设计优化后产生的利润决定了博弈的特征函数。联盟的形成是根据冈田（1996）在非合作、多人博弈论框架下基于随机提议者的谈判程序。得到了大联盟形成的一个充要条件，它将补贴从大贡献者限制到小贡献者。即使在网络中立性法规下，也普遍支持缓存。大联盟的利润符合上限。数值结果说明了分析结果。
