    Fiber: To Own or Not to Own [view article]
    I can't help but wonder if Internap isn't ripe for a buy-out because their stock has tanked and they are losing customers left and right since the bought VitalStream for $217 million - an amazing 8 times the projected value. Internap's problem isn't their network, it's their customer service. If someone as efficient as Google bought them, they could easily do a better job managing this valuable asset. Reply

    "cache-only CDN business model adopted by the current industry leaders, Akamai (AKAM), Limelight (LLNW), and Internap (INAP), and their growth could be limited without owning fiber and nationwide network support in the long-run."

    Ummm...do your research. Limelight owns its own fiber.

    What difference to a CDN does owning a network make, no matter how big, if there continue to exist other networks to which content must also be distributed? If AT&T wants to place servers geographically close to its end users to distribute content, it is able to do so within its own network, but what about the user of an ISP other than AT&T who wishes to access the content that AT&T is distributing for, say, Yahoo?

    Akamai has placed servers in many different networks and thus can be geographically AND network close to many end users who want to access Yahoo (in fact, they provide CDN services to Yahoo). But will the same networks who give Akamai access, allowing them to place servers within their data centers, allow a competing network to do so?

    And, if google decided to get into CDN, would microsoft use it? would yahoo?

    I think successful CDN must walk a tightrope, avoiding competing both with networks and their own customers.     Reply

    CDN Pricing Stable in Q1: Price Drop Only Seen at Highest Levels [view article]
    Pricing does seem to be all over the map when it comes to lower volumes and so does the quality of service. With the larger player well entrenched for the long haul, pricing melt down would be disastrous for the industry.

    But without doubt, pricing pressures will bring about consolidation and the new breed of video delivery networks companies may end up dominating the landscape which up to now is in the hands of just 2-3 companies.

    Keep a watch out for EdgeStream and Itiva.     Reply

    Gebby you are SO correct! "If it bleeds, it leads" mentality of the press has almost destroyed their readership. Mark Twain was right on the money when he said "To NOT read a newspaper is to be Uninformed, but to read them is to be Misinformed". Unfortunately the other media outlets are folloeing in the newspapers footsteps. Reply

    Falcon: To be perfectly clear, nobody "knows" whether the market is headed up or down. Never. It's always a prediction, and fallible Reply

    Does anyone know where the market is headed-up or down? Or are we just playing games for the hedge funds? Reply

    the most interesting piece of news this morning was ener earnings. did you see them? stock up 10. there was never going to be a recession unless the government failed to address the failure of the credit market. and they did respond. the media jumps on the notion of recession because fear sells not because it is liberal but because it is motivated by profit . the bias is towards useless information.

    Whenever there is a Democrat President, the talk is always of a "soft landing". Whenever a Republican is President, it's always a recession. Yet another example of the left-wing bias of the media. Reply

    Much overlooked: the rate of increase in productivity and increase in manufacturing output.

    Much is written about the "decline" in U.S. manufacturing, which has consistently increased in output (not payrolls).     Reply
