That depends where the cache goes. If it's at the endpoint, you're right. But this allows the cache to be much closer. In the cell tower. In the office router.
You could watch youtube video on a moving train with this. As soon as one person tries to watch the viral video of the day the train's router will store it, so it'll keep working for all even through tunnels and dropouts.
Assuming that the train's caching device could get it to start with - and even then only until the cache is full and gets overwritten by other material while at the same time you also cache a bunch of material that no one else on the train is interested in.
