AFAIK they run from 2 datacenters and don't operate caches at edge locations. The only advantage is that for most of the distance... the packets will flow thru Google backbone...

Pretty neat how you can run some tests yourself.

However, even if Google Aggspot is not considered a true CDN, their backbone seems to be able to keep up with many true CDN providers. I discussed the Google App Engine here:
