Akamai: Why Charge More for Streaming Video Delivery vs. HTTP Delivery?

Just because someone else charges less for something does not mean you cannot charge more for it and still succeed. Ever heard of these brands: Clorox? Kleenex? As long as you are comparing apples and oranges, so will I.

Having said that, Akamai indeed is in trouble, and you are right on some of your points. Their biz plan should be adjusted and maybe the pricing model is one way to attack it.
