This article was deleted by clear AfD consensus in January. Now there is some more coverage, but it's all in blogs and it's mostly staffing and financing announcements. I highly suspect COI and think the initial AfD should stand. Haakon (talk) 05:51, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I created the first and this one too. I'm a friend of Barrett's and do think he is one to watch, hence me creating the page. I did the same for BitGravity when it launched. I am acting in good faith here. My wiki experience is limited to only a few things, as you can see.Newtonke (talk) 16:18, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, would also like to add that this is a really new market. To take existing CDN's, which were designed to cut costs for serving content, like videos and patches, as an example Microsoft uses Akemai for patches, and turn them into one big CDN. Costs are cut by finding the most affordable service at the moment. Also, performance can be improved by picking the best performer at a specific price. It doesn't sound like much, but I believe it is a first step to providing an environment where content can be served very cheaply. The youtubes and ustreams out there provide a user the ability to stream for free now, but the company is flipping the bill for them, under their terms. This may remove those conditions, or make them so cheap, the conditions are really based on user preference. As a security guy, this has nothing to do with me, but I really think it is interesting to watch...I can try to add more about the technology if that would help...Newtonke (talk) 16:23, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
