If Everyone Had Verizon FiOS for Broadband, Capping Would Not Be an Issue

It is in Westchester, in almost every town.

Akamai Acknowledges It's Not Delivering HD Video to the iPhone

If by "my game" you mean reporting with is actually taking place, with factual information, then yes, I do hope readers are getting that.

Akamai Acknowledges It's Not Delivering HD Video to the iPhone

@ Kanman: This is all about furthering the HD debate, I am the one who is saying we need to stick to the broadcast standard. I am the one starting the debate. You didn't even say what you think the standard should be.

Is Hulu Waiting For Subscription Service Before Launching iPhone App?

Sure, it's possible, but I don't think likely as the consumer experience would suffer and the content would not be available instantly.

Blockbuster Streaming Comes To TiVo, But Service Won't Reach Many Consumers

Combined, all of those devices add up, but not to a big number yet. In fact, it's very small.

Your basically saying this is the future, ok agreed, but you're not saying by when? It won't be two years from now. Even two years from now, the projections on how many of these devices will be sold is very small.

Akamai's Webcast Recap: Stream Buffers, No Real Answers, No New Story

@ Wobatus: You are right, I do have an agenda, which is to write about things I think are relevant to the industry and explain the difference between facts and opinions.

I don't know why it is so hard for some investors to believe that someone like me does not actually play the stock market and has never bought shares before.

KIT Digital's FeedRoom Acquisition: Lots of Potential, Lots Of Questions

@ Smart Look: No, I am not a paid advisor to Brightcove. If I was, I would of had to have disclosed that in the post. You can keep trying to spread that "rumor" all you want, but that does not make it true.

Akamai's Webcast Recap: Stream Buffers, No Real Answers, No New Story

I don't have any brothers and my Spouse has no stock either.

When I write positive things about Akamai, you shareholders love it. and I see no complaints.

When I write negative things, you guys want to complain all day. What a surprise.

Next you'll ask, when have I written anything positive about Akamai? Read:

Akamai's Webcast Recap: Stream Buffers, No Real Answers, No New Story

The facts speak for themselves. Akamai's CDN revenue has been down for two quarters now. Akamai's traffic growth has been slowing for longer than that. I don't need to back up anything, just listen to Akamai's earnings calls.

I don't need to predict if Akamai is going to miss earnings or not, I don't own any stock in them, or any other public company. I have no vested interest in their stock price.

Breakdown Of U.S. Sales Numbers for Broadband Enabled Devices

Minutes is what matters, not number of videos. Lets say I said 1 million videos were downloaded. That does not tell you anything since you have no idea how long each video is and they all range in length. Minutes is the best way to do it, which is why Xbox gives it out that way. You're comparing songs on iTunes, which are nearly all the same length, to videos on Xbox which are all different in length. One has nothing to do with the other.

MLB's $0.99 per Game Live Streaming Service Launches on the iPhone

Yes, blackout rules still apply.

Apple Dropped the Ball on an NFL Deal

This post makes no sense.

For starters, the Apple TV has a very low sales rate. Even if this deal was made, how many Apple TV units would they really sell? Who's going to spend a few hundred dollars for a device that only gives them NFL games?

Also, people who have DirecTV use it for all their cable channels, not just NFL content. There would be no "exodus" from DirecTV if NFL games were on Apple TV because Apple TV does not give you any cable programming.

Also, you say that "For many consumers looking to quit cable or the dish there was a problem: live sporting events. The MLB deal changes that, making live baseball games easily accessible and affordable."

But you neglect to mention that if you want to watch your local MLB team, live, you can't do that via Roku or the PC with MLB's offering. All local games are blacked out. So how does "the MLB deal change that"? It doesn't.

Recent Analyst Research on the CDN Market Needs to Be Questioned

@Wisdom: You say " I have read about CDNetworks problems from other sources, I would have appreciated a more precise defense."

A more precise defense? You kidding? The point I was making was that CDNetworks has not made any major mistakes with their CDN offering. Internap on the other hand has had many public facing issues, not to mention writing down $150M of the VitalStream acquisition. It's all public info. I don't need to "defend" CDNetworks, the facts are the facts. Point me to something that shows CDNetworks has made mistakes as large as Internap.

You also say, "It is difficult to analyze CDNs when you do not want to upset advertisers of 'streaming media magazine."

Again, make no sense. Internap is one of the largest advertisers with Streaming Media magazine, so if I was worried about "upsetting" them, I would not have written this post saying that CDNetworks should be listed above Internap.

@CatsJam: This article is from my blog, where no ticker symbols are included. SeekingAlpha takes some of my posts and includes their own info with it on their website. If a ticker symbol appears, it's been added by SeekingAlpha and you'd have to contact them about it.

On2 Shareholders File Lawsuits to Block Google Acquisition

No clue what you are talking about. My post is simply reporting the news that is taking place. It's not my job to decide if the lawsuit is fair, what the value should be or what is taking place in the market on a larger scale in regards to your rant about "short selling".
