isp/cdn caching

I think that Cloudflare has a caching solution, but I think they have strict requirements towards the isp in order to install them on their premises.

Hi, I've been aware of a few caching providers for a few years now, but I'm learning of others as time goes on. which makes me curious if there are more springing up and gaining popularity.  I'm speaking of ISP-type caching whereas the cache provider sends hardware servers and perhaps a switch to the local ISP to install locally in their network.  Can someone please send a simple list of what they know is the current players in this ISP Caching space?  I'll list the ones I know about and you please let me know of others.  This seems to be an evolving/growing thing and I'm curious of where we are today for significant providers and possibly up-and-coming ones that I should know about.  (amazon prime has my wondering also.)

Google (GGC)

Netflix (OCA)

Akamai (AANP)

Facebook (FNA)

Apple (I heard this isn't isp-located like the others, but unsure)

? others ?
