Fiber: To Own or Not to Own

"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.

"Our dedicated high-speed network spans the globe, interconnecting all of our regional data centers over a fiber-optic backbone."

Five Key Quotes from Limelight's Conference Call

EdgeStream looks like a huge copetitor. I just checked their website, and on their home page they are promoting Horse & Country TV AND ABS-CNi Phillipines as their customers. Two blue chip content producers! AKAM and LLNW should just fold up shop now. I don't know how they can compete, since they only deliver HD content for MTV, NFL, MLB, Disney, FOX, etc. etc.
