I doubt the municipality will have much luck either.

CDN operators and OTT providers have fairly high traffic requirements before they will qualify you for an on-net appliance.

Netflix, for example, requires a minimum of 5 Gbps of traffic until they will even talk to you.

Perhaps thats is true for Content Providers like Netflix Youtube, for pure play CDN providers adding PoP in new areas bolsters their network and helps in sales a lot, it makes no sense for them to not talk to you at all.

From a security perspective, even assuming those operators already design to not trust the locations they're in, shipping servers to random end users seems like a bad idea.

Oh they don't trust the location at all, in some DCs, I have seen continuous camera feeds, actual cages which are locked etc. this is /was the case when you have to ship your equipment to a co-lo,
