That's an... interesting.. interpretation.  Most people would see it as the CDN
doing the hosting, and the customer *providing* the content to be hosted.

Do you also believe that your outbox is hosting the e-mail I'm replying to, and
all the MTAs that got involved are just temporary caching?  Or did you provide
a copy of the mail, and request that the MTAs distribute it?

(Also, if the CDN isn't a web hosting provider, why is it able to serve up data
on an http connection?  Hint - at one time, almost the entire web was static
content, and even today a lot of it is file data not javascript and css. ;)
