Last quarter AKAM had twice as much cash as IBEM. But you are right AKAM had a greater loss ($43.4 million) than IBEM ($33.1 million) had in the past quarter.

AKAM's loss per customer seems to be less than IBEM's. IBEM announced total customers of 225 while AKAM announced 2,100 customers and including 895 recurring accounts, almost double the 425 recurring accounts it had at the end of the first quarter.

However, IBEM did had a greater increase in sales as compared to AKAM's 151% over the previous quarter.


Now, IBEM is increasing its shares outstanding by about 20 million to buy NextVenture. I don't know how it paid for its other two acquisitions (stock or cash). I know I don't like to see the value of my stock diluted by 20%. But new investors may jump on board as the stock price falls and bring IBEM up to a new high.

Market value at this time may be based on the relative number of customers or number of individual simultaneous streams each company is currently capable of providing.
